Production Wraps on Sci-Fi Thriller The Tenth Planet – The Red Sister Starring Kevin Spacey

Production has officially wrapped on The Tenth Planet – The Red Sister, a new high-concept science fiction thriller led by two-time Academy Award® winner Kevin Spacey. Directed and conceived by Matthew Philip Cannon, with a screenplay by Greg Daniels, Gareth Pritchard, and Paul Gerstenberger, the film blends mythology, modern science, and parallel timelines into an expansive narrative about destiny and human evolution.

Shot on location across Snowdonia in Wales, Leicestershire, and Birmingham, the film is produced by Mark Foligno (The King’s Speech), Jo Stanhope, and Glen Kirby, with executive producer Michael Ryan. A first-look image released ahead of AFM showcases Spacey in the role of psychologist Dr. David Harper, offering an early glimpse at the project’s tone and scope.

The ensemble cast includes Ben Miles (The Crown), Joe Anderson (The Last Front), Antonia Campbell-Hughes (It Is in Us All), along with rising performers Serrana Su-Ling Bliss and Lily Curley.

The Tenth Planet – The Red Sister unfolds across two timelines. In the ancient world of 12,800 years ago, a girl named Anna witnesses the arrival of a mysterious red planet during celestial rituals that signal the beginning of a repeating cosmic cycle. In the present day, Earth is destabilized by pandemics and conflict. Dr. Harper works to support teenage Anna Collins, whose visions may hold answers to humanity’s future. A former MI-5 agent, Greaves, joins Harper as they become targets of Planet X’s dark forces, led by the malevolent Cullen.

Their search for the ancient “Mark of Enlightenment” moves from Scottish stone circles to confrontations with the forces behind Planet X, culminating in a discovery that may determine the survival of the human race.

Director Matthew Philip Cannon describes the film as an exploration of enlightenment in turbulent times, merging human drama with cosmological intrigue. Producer Mark Foligno emphasizes the film’s combination of scale and emotional focus, highlighting the cast and creative team shaping this ambitious sci-fi narrative.
