Have these two really never been in a movie together before? Well, it’s about time, then. Tessa Thompson (Thor: Ragnarok, pictured above) and Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Inception, Looper) are teaming up for the space thriller Ash, which has quite a lineup of talent behind the camera, too. The movie is executive produced by District 9 director Neill Blomkamp, and directed by the multi-hyphenate talent known as Flying Lotus.
Flying Lotus, aka Steven Ellison, is a Grammy Award-winning record producer, composer, filmmaker (Kuso) and record label founder. Earlier this year it was announced that he was pairing up with Logical Pictures and XYZ Films (who are producing Ash) to produce and direct movies in the SFF and horror vein.
Ash is written by Jonni Remmler. According to Variety, “Thompson plays a space station worker who wakes up on a distant planet to find her colleagues viciously killed, and then forced to work together with the man (Gordon-Levitt) sent to rescue her. But as their investigation into what happened sets in motion a terrifying chain of events, the rescuer begins to wonder how innocent she really is.”
No release date has been announced.
