Paul Sparks and Ava Threat Join Apple’s Sci-fi Thriller ‘Liminal’
Paul Sparks and Ava Threat have joined Apple’s sci-fi thriller, ‘Liminal’, based on the graphic novel centered around telepathic powers.
Paul Sparks (The Mortuary Assistant) and Ava Threat (The Day Before Christmas) have signed on to join the Apple’s sci-fi thriller, Liminal, reports Deadline.
They join Vanessa Kirby (Fantastic Four, Night Always Comes), Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (Wonder Man), and Tom Pelphrey (Ozark), Franka Potente (Run Lola Run) and Tracy Letts (A House of Dynamite).
Based on the AWA graphic novel Telepaths by Eisner Award winner J. Michael Straczynski, Steve Epting, and Brian Reber, the story takes place in a world where a tenth of the population suddenly gains telepathic powers as a result of an electromagnetic disturbance.
Louis Leterrier (Fast X, The Transporter) directs from a script by Justin Rhodes (Terminator: Dark Fate).
Character details for the new hires are under wraps.
Zach Studin is producing for AWA Studios, alongside Kevin Walsh for The Walsh Company via his overall deal with Apple Studios. Ray Angelic exec produces alongside Straczynski, Epting and Reber, with Patrick McNamara co-producing for The Walsh Company. Juliet Kirby is also co-producing.
Sparks last appeared in The Mortuary Assistant, based on the popular horror video game. Threat, meanwhile, is a bit of a newcomer, so I’ll be curious to see her role amongst such a loaded cast.
