Joseph Morgan is headed to the big screen!

According to THR, the 32-year-old Originals star has landed a role in Dermaphoria, the film adaptation of Craig Clevenger‘s novel of the same name.

The story centers on a brilliant chemist (Morgan) who wakes up in jail after a drug lab explosion and is suffering from amnesia.

Trapped between cops who want to arrest him and heavies who will stop at nothing to get the formula buried deep inside his head, the man needs to piece together memories fragmented by a powerful new drug and find his missing girlfriend.

Production is set to begin on June 23 in New Orleans.
