Netflix has rolled out the cast list for their upcoming film, Awake, a dystopian sci-fi film starring Gina Rodriguez (Jane the Virgin, Miss Bala), Ariana Greenblatt (Avengers: Infinity War), Frances Fisher (Titanic), Shamier Anderson (Race), Finn Jones (Game of Thrones), Lucius Hoyos (Heroes Reborn), Gil Bellows (Patriot), with Barry Pepper (Saving Private Ryan), and Jennifer Jason Leigh (The Hateful Eight). Here’s a rundown for the film:

The film picks up after a sudden global event wipes out all electronics and takes away humankind’s ability to sleep, chaos quickly begins to consume the world. Only Jill (Rodriguez), an ex-soldier with a troubled past, may hold the key to a cure in the form of her own daughter. The question is, can Jill safely deliver her daughter and save the world before she herself loses her mind?

This sounds like a solid film. Netflix has done a pretty good job of making suspenseful thrillers that do well with the fans, like A Quiet Place and Birdbox. This is a cool idea, and I’m interested in checking it out. Awake is currently filming. Are you intrigued?
