Johnny Depp will star in the film as an assassinated scientist who has his brain uploaded to a computer. Kate&amp;#039;s sister Rooney Mara was in the running for the role of Depp&amp;#039;s wife and fellow scientist, which ultimately went to Rebecca Hall. Indiewire reports that Kate Mara is likely to be playing a character called Bree, a member of a terrorist group determined to stop the artificial intelligence project which Depp and Hall&amp;#039;s characters have developed.
