Chris Pratt will be shooting his fifth movie in Georgia in five years, this time a sci-fi film called "Ghost Draft."

The film is in pre-production right now, according to the Georgia film office.

His previous films here include “Passengers,” “Guardians of the Galaxy 2” and two “Avengers” films.

His co-star is "The Handmaid's Tale" star  Yvonne Strahovski, according to Variety. She was nominated for an Emmy for her role in that Hulu series in 2018.

According to the studio Skydance, the film is about a man - played by Pratt - who is drafted to fight in a future war which forces him to confront his past. Strahovski will play a woman Pratt meets in the future.
