Vanessa Kirby and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II will have their shifts divided between the Empire State and the Kingdom of the Atlas. Their next project together, an Apple TV+ movie titled ‘Liminal,’ will be shot across New York and Morocco between May 4 and August 12 this year. Louis Leterrier will direct the sci-fi thriller, based on a story by Justin Rhodes.
The drama shows what happens when a solar flare knocks most humans on Earth unconscious for over a minute. A select few individuals develop a strange new ability to visualize others’ intentions before they occur. In a new era of security and fear, a “limen” named Lake works for the CIA as an interrogator, using her abilities to procure information. During her first mission in the field, Lake encounters a fellow limen, and soon finds herself in the middle of a dangerous conspiracy. The story is based on the AWA graphic novel ‘Telepaths’ by J. Michael Straczynski, Steve Epting, and Brian Reber.
Vanessa Kirby has provided a range of performances of late, playing Josephine Bonaparte in the biographical drama ‘Napolean,’ the anti-bourgeois Dore Strauch in the historical survival movie ‘Eden,’ the Invisible Woman in the MCU movie ‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps,’ and struggling woman Lynette in the crime thriller ‘Night Always Comes.’ We will next see her reprise the character of Invisible Woman/ Sue Storm in ‘Avengers: Doomsday,’ which will be released on December 18 this year.
Yahya Abdul-Mateen II recently starred in the MCU show ‘Wonder Man.’ Before that, we saw him in ‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom’ and the Michael Bay movie ‘Ambulance.’ Up next for him are Netflix series ‘Man on Fire,’ based on the Denzel Washington-starrer action flick of the same name, Elegance Bratton’s crime thriller ‘By Any Means,’ co-starring Mark Wahlberg and Josh Lucas, and ‘The Adventures of Cliff Booth,’ a Netflix series based on Brad Pitt’s character Cliff Booth from Quentin Tarantino’s movie ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.’
Louis Leterrier directed ‘The Transporter,’ ‘The Incredible Hulk,’ ‘Now You See Me,’ ‘Fast X,’ and several episodes of Netflix’s ‘Lupin,’ among other projects.
