Chris Hemsworth begins shoot for Kockroach, shares Day 1 BTS

Chris Hemsworth

Actor Chris Hemsworth has started shooting for 'Kockroach'. On Tuesday, he took to Instagram and shared BTS pictures from Day 1 of the shoot. "Kockroach. Day 1," he captioned the post.

Taron Egerton, Zazie Beetz and Alec Baldwin have also come on board to play key roles in Matt Ross' feature Kockroach. The New York-set crime pic, based on the William Lashner novel, is the story of a mysterious stranger who takes on the city's criminal underworld, transforming himself into a larger-than-life boss in a city where power is everything.

Ross directs from a screenplay by Jonathan Ames (You Were Never Really Here) with revisions by Ross, as per Deadline. Lashner's novel is a re-imagining of Franz Kafka's classic Metamorphosis in which a man wakes up to find that he has been transformed into a cockroach, so we hear there's a fun supernatural element to the movie.

Sennott is currently leading the writers room on season two of HBO hit I Love LA, which is expected to shoot this year. Her role in Kockroach isn't expected to take her away from the series for long.
