Musician-turned-director Flying Lotus (Kuso) recently directed a segment in Bloody Disgusting’s V/H/S/99, and his next project will be a sci-fi thriller titled Ash. Deadline reports today that Eiza González (Baby Driver) and Aaron Paul (“Breaking Bad”) have signed on to lead the cast, replacing previously announced stars Tessa Thompson and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
Neill Blomkamp (District 9) will be producing the upcoming feature.
Ash is said to center on ”a woman (Eiza González) who wakes up on a distant planet and finds the crew of her space station viciously killed, and must then decide if she can trust the man (Aaron Paul) sent to rescue her. But as their investigation into what happened sets in motion a terrifying chain of events, he begins to wonder how innocent she really is.”
Flying Lotus will also compose an original score for Ash, Deadline notes!
“We are building something fresh and unique with Ash and having Eiza and Aaron in this world just makes it flames. They are absolute magic makers, brave and equally inspiring. All that to say… We ‘bout to kill this shit,” said Flying Lotus.
The original screenplay for Ash was written by Jonni Remmler. XYZ Films and GFC Films produce, with Blomkamp exec producing alongside Echo Lake Entertainment.
