SUCCESSION Actor Ashley Zuckerman Stars in a New Sci-Fi Thriller Film IN VITRO
Succession and The Lost Symbol actor Ashley Zukerman stars in an upcoming sci-fi thriller feature film titled In Vitro, which recently wrapped production in New South Wales, Australia. Joining him in the film is Talia Zucker (Lake Mungo) alongside Will Howarth (Beast).
The story is set on “a remote cattle property in the near future, the film follows Layla (Zucker) and her husband Jack (Zukerman), who have been experimenting with biotechnology and developing new farming methods. It’s a mostly isolated existence for the couple, but when a series of unsettling occurrences take place, they soon discover a disturbing presence on the farm that threatens to upend their lives.”
The film comes from writers and directors Tom McKeith and Will Howarth, who previously developed the feature Beast. They co-wrote the script with Zucker.
Howarth and McKeith said in a joint statement: “Our goal with In Vitro is to create a bold sci-fi with compelling characters that expresses something important about the times we live in. We’re so excited to be working on this project with such a great team and are thrilled to be supported by Screen Australia, Screen NSW, and the Sundance Institute.”
Arcadia’s Lisa Shaunessy added: “In Vitro is a dark love story that sent chills down my spine the first time I read it. Teaming with Will and Matilda at Fictious; and with Tom, Talia and Ashley rounding out the dynamic creative team alongside Arcadia — it’s exciting to be collaborating with such experienced and talented storytellers. Combined with the incredible locations like the majestic Snowy-Monaro and our super talented heads of department, we really look forward to bringing In Vitro to the screen.”
In Vitro was selected for the Sundance Screenwriters Lab, and received production funding from Screen Australia, with support from Screen NSW, Mind the Gap, Fictious, and Arcadia.
This sounds like it’ll make for a solid film that will tell an interesting story.
