Bella Thorne Set to Star in Post-Apocalyptic Dystopian Thriller THE UNCANNY
Actress Bella Thorne, known for Blended and Assassination Nation, has taken on a new role in the upcoming post-apocalyptic dystopian thriller The Uncanny. The film is being directed by Mitzi Peirone (Braid), who co-wrote the script alongside Chaya Doswell. Deadline reports the following synopsis for the film:
The Uncanny presents a future where every citizen is implanted with a chip capable of controlling everything from emotions to directions, until a routine update backfires, causing a cyber apocalypse. Wiping out most of humanity, five strangers miraculously survive, now forced to live hidden in a bunker with their implants ripped from their spines. They were the few lucky enough to survive – until Scarlet (Thorne) begins to suspect they were not saved at all, or by chance.
This sounds pretty cheesy. I don’t know if it will look better once it’s made, but for now, I am skeptical. Hopefully the film comes together and the trailer will prove me wrong. Does this sound like a movie you might want to see?
