The Star Wars actor will play a former national security expert who discovers a strange experiment being conducted by a religious sect called The Shadow of the Cross while investigating his sister's murder.
"We are very pleased to have Hayden on board for this project," said Myriad's CEO and president Kirk D'Amico.
He added: "His passion for the character of Joe Lassiter and the world he inhabits - of religion, politics and secret operatives - was apparent to all of us involved in the project. It is this kind of commitment that we know will lead to a compelling performance."
The film will be shopped to distributors at the Cannes Film Festival.
