Chris Hemsworth kicks off Kockroach filming with BTS glimpse

Actor Chris Hemsworth has started shooting for `Kockroach`. On Tuesday, he took to Instagram and shared BTS pictures from Day 1 of the shoot. “Kockroach. Day 1,” he captioned the post.

Taron Egerton, Zazie Beetz and Alec Baldwin have also come on board to play key roles in Matt Ross` feature Kockroach. The New York-set crime pic, based on the William Lashner novel, is the story of a mysterious stranger who takes on the city`s criminal underworld, transforming himself into a larger-than-life boss in a city where power is everything. 

Ross directs from a screenplay by Jonathan Ames (You Were Never Really Here) with revisions by Ross, as per Deadline. Lashner`s novel is a re-imagining of Franz Kafka`s classic Metamorphosis in which a man wakes up to find that he has been transformed into a cockroach, so we hear there`s a fun supernatural element to the movie. 

Sennott is currently leading the writers room on season two of HBO hit I Love LA, which is expected to shoot this year. Her role in Kockroach isn`t expected to take her away from the series for long.
