Andrew Scott and Greta Lee have signed to star in My Notes on Mars, a new sci-fi romance from acclaimed Hungarian filmmaker Lili Horvát. The project is Horvát’s first English-language film and tackles complex themes of love and human psychology.
The film’s plot centers on Margot, played by Lee, a brilliant scientist who mysteriously disappears while hiking with her husband Sam, played by Scott, and their friends. Weeks later, Margot inexplicably reappears at her own memorial service, but she is no longer the same person she was before the incident. The story then delves into Sam’s hope for a second chance to save their broken marriage, despite the drastic changes in his wife.
Lili Horvát describes the film as “a story about the labyrinthine human psyche, about the ever-changing faces of love.” She goes on to say that the film explores the challenges involved in rekindling a relationship, explaining: “To restart a marriage, to rediscover the other person, to fall in love again – our story is about the grueling realization of this impossible wish.”
Filming on My Notes on Mars is scheduled to begin next spring in Budapest and Vienna. This film is another exciting movie for Scott and Lee. Scott will also appear in the upcoming sequel to Knives Out, Wake Up Dead Man.
