Winston Duke (Us, Black Panther) and Zazie Beetz (Atlanta, Joker) are set to star in sci-fi thriller “Nine Days”.
The indie film has an interesting, philosophical premise which I am intrigued to see. It is set in an alternate, future reality inside a man’s home. The man interviews a group of individuals, personifications of human souls, to decide which should be born as a human.
Writer and director of the movie, Edson Oda said in a statement, “”I’m thrilled to be working with such an incredible cast and amazing team. So grateful for all the support I have received. Nine Days is a very personal story to me, and I can’t imagine a better team to help me tell it.” This is Oda’s first time directing and writing a movie and I’ve got to say, he’s not off to a bad start.
“This is one of the most beautiful and complex human stories we’ve been fortunate enough to be a part of, so eloquently spanning across cultures and vantage points, yet set in a world that we’ve never experienced before,” Producers Berman, Kongsved, and Tunstall said in a joint statement. “Being able to partake in creating something so wholly original, and facilitating the realization of Edson’s singular vision with the help of this outrageously talented cast and crew, is truly exciting.”
According to Complex, filming for the movie will begin this summer but there is yet to a set release date.
