“Boyd is going to eat this role alive and show why he’s one of the best young actors working today,” Mickle told Variety. “We’re lucky to have an incredibly talented producing team and a home like Netflix that’s excited to take chances. Any studio that makes ‘Okja’ has a permanent place in my heart.”

Brian Kavanaugh-Jones, Rian Cahill, Pen Pugh and Linda Moran will also help produce In the Shadow of the Moon.

“Jim Mickle is a visionary director, and with the spectacular Boyd Holbrook starring, we have a partnership between director and leading man that promises a uniquely special film,” Kavanaugh-Jones told Variety.
