In an exciting collaboration, Eiza González and Aaron Paul take the lead roles in the upcoming sci-fi thriller Ash, directed by the multi-talented Flying Lotus. Based on an original screenplay by Jonni Remmler, this spine-chilling film will keep audiences on the edge of their seats from start to finish. Ash sports an exceptional supporting cast including Iko Uwais, Beulah Koale, and Kate Elliot.
The production of Ash is a joint effort between XYZ Films and GFC Films, with renowned filmmaker Neill Blomkamp (known for his work on ‘DISTRICT 9’) and Echo Lake serving as executive producers. XYZ Films, along with IPR.VC, is co-financing the project, ensuring that no expense is spared in bringing this thrilling story to life. Additionally, Flying Lotus himself will compose an original score, further enhancing the film’s atmosphere and intensity.
The logline of Ash sets the stage for a truly terrifying narrative: a woman, portrayed by the talented Eiza González, awakens on a remote planet to discover the gruesome fate of her space station crew, brutally murdered. As hope seems to fade, Aaron Paul’s character appears as her rescuer, raising the crucial question of whether she can trust him in this perilous situation.
Ash marks another successful collaboration between XYZ Films and GFC Films, following their previous joint projects such as the critically acclaimed ‘THE DEAD LANDS’ and the global hit ‘6 DAYS.’ The impressive track record of these two production powerhouses promises a film that will captivate audiences worldwide.
Flying Lotus, also known as Steven Ellison, brings his visionary talent to Ash as the director. With an extensive repertoire in music, film, and other artistic endeavors, Ellison’s genre-bending approach ensures that Ash will be a unique and unforgettable experience. Having received a Grammy Award for his groundbreaking music, Ellison has also made a name for himself in the film industry. His debut film, ‘KUSO,’ premiered at the prestigious Sundance Film Festival in 2017, while his work on the Netflix anime series ‘YASUKE’ garnered widespread acclaim.
XYZ Films and GFC Films have an impressive lineup of current and upcoming projects. From the Cannes Director’s Fortnight selection ‘IN FLAMES’ to the Berlin competition title ‘BLACKBERRY’ starring Glenn Howerton and Jay Baruchel, these production companies continue to push boundaries and deliver remarkable films. With other highly anticipated titles such as ‘SEVEN VEILS’ starring Amanda Seyfried and ‘RUN RABBIT RUN’ featuring Sarah Snook, movie enthusiasts have much to look forward to.
Meanwhile, GFC Films has its own set of exciting projects in the works, including the medical drama ‘A MISTAKE’ directed by Christine Jeffs, with Elizabeth Banks in the lead role.
