A24 and Ex Machina director Alex Garland are reuniting on upcoming action film Civil War with The Power Of The Dog awards prospect Kirsten Dunst and Wagner Moura on board.

The story is based on the British writer-director’s original screenplay and takes place in a United States in the near-future. Plot details remain under wraps and the cast includes Stephen Henderson and Cailee Spaeny.

A24 will handle the global release and is producing alongside Andrew Macdonald and Allon Reich of DNA and Gregory Goodman.

Garland received an original screenplay Oscar nomination for Ex Machina, which won the Academy Award for visual effects.
