Director James Ponsoldt (The Spectacular Now, The End of the Tour) helms this adaptation of Dave Eggers' 2013 sci-fi novel, where Mae Holland (Emma Watson) joins the titular tech company and soon enough discovers some very sinister goings-on.

John Boyega plays Kalden, Mae's love interest who holds his cards close to the chest. It's a supporting but undeniably pivotal role as anyone who's read the novel will know.

Considering that Boyega is also working on Kathryn Bigelow's new movie and the now-shooting Pacific Rim: Uprising, having such a diverse slate of projects demonstrates he's keen to not merely be labelled as a "Star Wars actor", but indeed something more in his own right.
