Eddie Redmayne has found his next project. Following his Golden Globe nomination for Peacock's Day of the Jackal, the Cabaret star has been cast in Sam Esmail's Panic Carefully, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Redmayne will join Julia Roberts and Elizabeth Olsen in the thriller, which will be directed by Esmail from his script.

No specific character or plot information has been released, except that the film will be a paranoid thriller influenced by The Silence of the Lambs and features a cyber-terrorist.

Redmayne has recently received critical acclaim for his performance in The Day of the Jackal, which is currently streaming on Peacock and for his turn as the Emcee in Broadway's Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club.

The show won a record breaking seven Olivier awards total including Musical Revival. He has also graced the stage in The Goat or Who is Sylvia?, Now or Later, Richard II and Red, for which he also won Tony and Olivier Awards.
