Tim Robbins has joined the cast of new British film A Patriot.

The science-fiction thriller is due to shoot in Wales this autumn.

Robbins joins fellow Oscar-winner Kathy Bates, Eva Green and Ed Skrein in the project which is being directed by Dan Pringle.

A Patriot takes place in a future authoritarian state that has walled itself away from a world ravaged by climate chaos and resource wars.

The story follows the unquestioning Border Corp Captain — played by Green — as she fights to defend the purity of the population, until a chance discovery makes her doubt the authorities she has pledged her allegiance and life to protect.

I’m excited about this film not only because it has a great cast, but it’s being produced by my friend Adam Merrifeld.
