KJ Apa and Nadia Parkes’s next project will take them to British Columbia. The filming of the horror movie ‘Obey,’ featuring the two stars, will take place in Lower Mainland, British Columbia, between December 7 this year and January 28, 2027. Sophie Kargman will direct, based on a script by Ryan Farhoudi. The story follows Christian, a millionaire heir, who meets Sigrid, a young student, on a dating app. They hit it off quickly, but there’s only one problem: Christian lives with Frank, a man who dresses up and constantly acts like a dog.
KJ Apa made his screen debut on the New Zealand soap opera ‘Shortland Street,’ as high schooler Kane Jenkins.
