Michael Chiklis will join Noomi Rapace in upcoming sci-fi thriller Rupture.

The American Horror Story: Freak Show star will appear in the film which follows the story of a single mother (Rapace) who gets abducted by a mysterious organisation.

Tied up and captured in a lab, the woman finds out that she has a genetic abnormality which means she can rupture.

If she was to rupture, her alien nature would be released into the world.

Deadline reports that Chiklis will appear as The Bald Man, the organisation's point man.

Rupture is based on a story from Steven Shainberg and Brian Nelson, with Nelson behind the screenplay and Shainberg directing.

American Sniper's Andrew Lazar will produce the project.
