Morena Baccarin is elevating her career…

The 43-year-old Brazilian actress will star opposite Anthony Mackie and Maddie Hasson in the post-apocalyptic action thriller Elevation.

George Nolfi will direct the film from Lyrical Media.

Brad Fuller is on board to produce with John Glenn and writing duo Kenny Ryan and Jacob Roman penning the script.

The film is billed as a high-concept, thematically driven action piece set in the Rocky Mountains.
