Lionsgate has debuted the first trailer for writer-director John Ridley’s sci-fi romance Needle in a Timestack. Based on Robert Silverberg’s short story of the same name, the film focuses on couple Nick (Leslie Odom Jr.) and Janine (Cynthia Erivo) as they find their marriage at risk when Janine’s ex (Orlando Bloom) warps time, affecting the memories of their relationship, in an effort to tear them apart; watch it here…
If love is in the form of a circle, what lines would you cross to be with your soulmate? In this gripping, near-future love story directed by Oscar® winner John Ridley, Nick and Janine (Oscar® nominees Leslie Odom, Jr. and Cynthia Erivo) live in marital bliss, until Janine’s ex-husband (Orlando Bloom) warps time to try to tear them apart using Nick’s college girlfriend (Frieda Pinto). As Nick’s memories and reality disappear, he must decide what he’s willing to sacrifice in order to hold onto — or let go of — everything he loves. Can love endure in a future where time is fluid, and all of life may be just an illusion?
Needle in a Timestack is set to premiere on digital, VOD, and in limited theaters on October 15th.
