Musician-turned-director Flying Lotus (Kuso) directed a segment in Bloody Disgusting’s upcoming V/H/S/99, coming to Shudder on October 20, and Deadline reports today that Flying Lotus has set up his next project. It’s a sci-fi thriller titled Ash, with Tessa Thompson (Thor: Love and Thunder) and Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Snowden) on board to lead the cast.
Additionally, Neill Blomkamp (District 9) will be producing the upcoming feature.
Deadline notes in this morning’s report, “While at TIFF to meet with key buyers for Ash, Flying Lotus will appear in support of his segment of V/H/S/99, which is having its world premiere in the Midnight section of the festival.”
Ash is said to center on ” a woman (Thompson) 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 (Gordon-Levitt) 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!
The original screenplay for Ash was written by Jonni Remmler. XYZ Films and GFC Films produce, with Blomkamp exec producing alongside Echo Lake Entertainment.
