'Prometheus' actor Logan Marshall-Green to star in 'Stem'

"Prometheus" actor Logan Marshall-Green is set to star in Leigh Whannell's science-fiction movie "Stem".

The 40-year-old star will portray a man in a near-future world who uses an experimental computer chip to avenge his wife's murder and his own injury, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Blumhouse Productions is producing the film in association with Goalpost Pictures Australia. The movie will shoot in Melbourne, which is also Whannell's hometown.

"To be shooting this science-fiction film on the streets of my beloved hometown of Melbourne is a dream come true for me," Whannell, also the co-creator of the 'Saw' and 'Insidious' horror franchises, said.
