DEADPOOL Actress Brianna Hildebrand Cast in The Sci-Fi Thriller PERSEPHONE
A new sci-fi movie from Evolutionary Film is on its way called Persephone and they just nabbed Brianna Hildebrand. The Deadpool co-star is the latest addition to the cast which already includes Emile Hirsch, Malcolm McDowell, Mary-Louise Parker, and Lance Reddick. Persephone is written and directed by Jeffrey Morris with John Adams, Anne Marie Gillen, and Diane Shorthouse serving as producers.
“Persephone is the story of three astronauts from Colony One - an enormous space vessel carrying over 20,000 colonists from a dying Earth to the nearest star system of Alpha Centauri in the late 22nd Century.
“The trio is being dispatched to repair a system designed to shield their new world of Proxima b - also known as Persephone - from the constant and deadly solar flares emitted by the red dwarf star it orbits every eleven days. Persephone is an arid, lifeless world nearly twice the size of Earth with double the gravity. The planet also is tidally-locked - with one side forever facing its parent star while the other remains in unending darkness. Its environment can barely support human life. Yet, after a disastrous attempt to colonize Mars failed decades earlier, Colony One, and its trailing sister ships, are now the only option for the survival of the species.
“Born during the 50-year journey to the nearest star, Darcy Webb -- played by Hildebrand -- has been trained to pilot shuttlecraft for the enormous mile-long spacecraft Colony One. While commanding a critical mission to the planet Proxima B, Darcy goes head-to-head with engineer Tanya Baxter (Mary-Louise Parker) regarding the right course of action when they discover they may not be alone on the seemingly-lifeless world. What follows is an epic journey of interpersonal conflict and scientific discovery.”
Sounds like this could be pretty good. The press release doesn’t say that this is based on any pre-existing property, so this could be a genuine original story.
