‘Liminal’: Vanessa Kirby and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II Join Apple Sci-Fi Thriller

Apple has greenlit Liminal, a sci-fi action-thriller from director Louis Leterrier (Fast X, The Transporter) that will star Academy Award nominee Vanessa Kirby (Fantastic Four, Night Always Comes) and Emmy winner Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (Wonder Man), reports Deadline.

While the plot of the feature is being kept under wraps, the source material takes place in a world where a tenth of the population suddenly gains telepathic powers as a result of an electromagnetic disturbance.

Subsequently, newly telepathic Boston police find themselves contending with a faction, led by a wrongly convicted prisoner, who are trying to escape a world in which their powers will make them targets.

Liminal is based on the AWA graphic novel Telepaths by Eisner Award winner J. Michael Straczynski, Steve Epting and Brian Reber.

Hailing from Apple Studios, Liminal is written by Justin Rhodes (Terminator: Dark Fate).
