Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead have been seeing more and more success with their shared filmmaking career and they've now set up their next film. Science fiction tale Synchronic will star Anthony Mackie and Jamie Dornan.

The thriller will find the pair as New Orleans-based paramedics whose lives are torn apart by a series of horrific deaths affecting users of a designer drug with otherworldly effects.

"Being huge fans of the nuanced, brilliant work of Anthony and Jamie, this is a filmmaker’s wildest dream come true," the Endless directors said in a statement picked up by Deadline. "They each possess an extraordinary depth of personal experiences, humor, and pathos that brings a massive wellspring of humanity to the battle-scarred partnership being portrayed. We’ve found the perfect collaborators to tell a bold, frightening, heartstring-tugging story."

In addition to his Avengers duties (assuming he manages to overcome the whole turning to dust thing), Mackie will be seen in The Hate U Give, due on 22 October and the remake of Miss Bala. Dornan has Robin Hood out on 21 November and A Private War, which will screen at the London Film Festival but has yet to announce a more general UK release.
