9-1-1 and Marvel stars team up for new sci-fi thriller

Ready for some waking nightmares?

9-1-1 actress Arielle Kebbel and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier's Miki Ishikawa are shooting a mysterious sci-fi in North Carolina.

Reported by Deadline, this new movie (titled Site) also boasts faces from across Sons of Anarchy (Theo Rossi) and Black Bird (Jake McLaughlin), with Threshold director Jason Eric Perlman calling 'ACTION!'.

McLaughlin plays "committed family man" Neil Bardo here, who injures his son by accident. Attempting to maintain his marriage (to Kebbel's Elena) and temper the storm of medical bills, he begs for more shifts from his "mercenary" boss Garrison (Rossi).

"While inspecting an abandoned government facility, he's confronted by nightmarish visions that now begin infiltrating his waking life," reveals a synopsis.

"Desperate for answers, Neil enlists the help of ex-girlfriend-turned-journalist Naomi (Ishikawa), and together they unravel the mystery of the covert government site and its soul-bending experiments."

Hoping to serve up some anticipation for his new project, Perlman said in a statement: "For all its mind-bending ambition, I believe Site is a film uniquely suited to our moment.

"We've never experienced a greater awareness of our global interconnectedness, nor our collective crises – and Site really aims to look at the metaphysics of that collision. We couldn't be more gratified by attracting this caliber of cast!"

While we're in the realm of sci-fi, Jordan Peele's deliciously secretive Nope will finally hit UK cinemas next month, following an early US release.

Addressing the title, writer-director Peele shared last month: "The title speaks to the idea of being in tune with what the audience is thinking and feeling in the theatre.

"I know a lot of people who say, when it's a scary movie, they say, 'Nope!' Especially Black audiences, right? We love horror but there's a skepticism."
