"Pandorum" centers on mysterious events aboard an abandoned space craft, with Quaid and Foster as crewmen who must figure out what has happened to them and to the planet they're orbiting. German filmmaker Christian Alvart ("Case 39") is directing from a script he wrote with Travis Milloy.
Overture Films will handle domestic rights to the film, the company's first sci-fi release. "Pandorum" is being produced by Germany's Constantin Film and its subsidiary Impact Pictures, the pair behind the "Resident Evil" franchise.
Quaid, currently onscreen in "Smart People," next stars in the football drama "The Express." Foster, who played a villain in last year's Western remake "3:10 to Yuma," will star in the upcoming military romance "The Messenger."
