Tessa Thompson and Joseph Gordon-Levitt to star in Flying Lotus-directed sci-fi mystery Ash

September 1, 2022 by Gary Collinson

Deadline is reporting that Tessa Thompson (Thor: Love and Thunder) and Joseph Gordon-Levitt (The Trial of the Chicago 7) have signed on to star in Ash, the latest feature from Grammy-winning musician and filmmaker Flying Lotus (a.k.a. Steven Ellison).

Executive produced by District 9 helmer Neill Blomkamp, the film will see Thompson playing a woman 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.”

“It’s an absolute dream come true to collaborate with some of the most talented actors out there!,” said Flying Lotus, who made his feature directorial debut with 2017’s Kuso and also helmed a segment of Shudder’s upcoming horror anthology V/H/S/99. 

Tessa Thompson was last seen as Valkyrie in Marvel’s Thor: Love and Thunder, and has both The Listener and Creed III in the can and in post-production. Gordon-Levitt will next feature in Disney’s Pinocchio as the voice of Jiminy Cricket, and just signed on for a role in Beverly Hills Cop: Axel Foley alongside Eddie Murphy.
