Liminal is currently shooting in New York, and set photos and videos for the movie reveal a first look at The Fantastic Four: First Steps star Vanessa Kirby in the sci-fi action-thriller.
The actress is no stranger to action fare, as she also counts the Mission: Impossible franchise and Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw among her credits. Later this year, she'll reprise her role as Sue Storm in Avengers: Doomsday for Marvel Studios.
Apple Original Films announced that it had landed Liminal in March, with Wonder Man's Yahya Abdul-Mateen set to co-star alongside Kirby. Developed by Apple Studios, Louis Leterrier (Fast X, The Incredible Hulk) is directing the movie.
The sci-fi project is based on the AWA graphic novel Telepaths by Eisner Award winner J. Michael Straczynski, Steve Epting and Brian Reber.
"An electromagnetic disturbance results in the sudden awakening of telepathic powers in a tenth of the Earth’s population," reads the description for the graphic novel (plot details for the movie are currently being kept under wraps).
"In the moments after the world comes to grips with this development, newly telepathic Boston police find themselves sent against a wrongly convicted prisoner who becomes a hero and leader of other telepaths trying to escape a world in which their powers will make them targets. Both are heroes of their own story, and the future may depend on whether or not trust can be found between them."
Zach Studin will produce for AWA Studios. Kevin Walsh will produce for The Walsh Company via his overall deal with Apple Studios. Ray Angelic will serve as executive producer, along with Straczynski, Epting and Reber. The project was written by Justin Rhodes (Terminator: Dark Fate). Co-producers are Patrick McNamara for The Walsh Company, and Juliet Kirby.
Liminal doesn't have a release date but will likely debut on Apple TV next year. Stay tuned for updates.
