Taka Arai produces the film.

Variety reports that Michelle Rodriguez has signed on to star in Control opposite Matt Dillon and Willem Dafoe. Rodriguez will play the love interest of a sociopath on death row, who's given a chance at release if he agrees to a chemical behavioral modification program.
