Actors Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt have reportedly been approached for Sony's space drama "Passengers".

"The Imitation Game" fame director Morten Tyldum is set to helm the film. Sony bought the rights of "Passengers" in December, reports variety.com.

The film is set on a spacecraft in future, with thousands of passengers making an interstellar voyage to a distant new planet.

One passenger awakens from cryogenic sleep 90 years before anyone else and decides to wake up a female passenger, sparking the beginning of a love story.

Jon Spaihts, writer of "Doctor Strange," is penning the script.
