This is our first look at Christina Ricci in the upcoming sci-fi cyberpunk action thriller The Dresden Sun. She is joined in the film by Mena Suvari, Linus Roache, Steven Ogg and Samantha Win.
The movie centers on a heist that “goes south when Crilenger (Ogg), a brilliant, principled mercenary with a traumatic past, works with an insider to steal a valued asset from Peredor Corporation called ‘the sphere’. The C & Earth corporation, vying for global dominance, seeks to find a solution to an otherworldly technology via a scientist’s project. Meanwhile, a financial analyst, who despises his job at the powerful investment firm Mutual One, finds himself caught between deadly corporate rivals, financial fraud, and technological espionage, and is ultimately forced to run from a psychopathic military contractor.”
Ricci has been trending recently with her roles in popular shows such as Wednesday and Yellowjackets. This next film looks like it could be a cool project for her! I’ll be looking forward to watching it!
The Dresden Sun was written and directed by Michael Ryan, the film is produced by Tyler Lockamy and Michael Ryan at Archetype Pictures.
The film is currently in post-production. VMI will be introducing the project to buyers at the upcoming EFM. Jessica Bennett, COO Productions and Acquisitions for VMI, said in a statement: “The Dresden Sun is a whole other world of sci-fi with stylized and sleek action elements with an overall unique concept. We at VMI are very excited to bring this one to market, the stellar cast and level of filmmaking will bring the wow factor.”
Ryan added: “The Dresden Sun is an allegorical story that deals with ideas and concepts ranging from corporatocracy, interdimensional reality, grief, arrested development, and apostasy. We at Archetype Pictures appreciate working with VMI and their passionate team and are looking forward to their abilities to help deliver the film to the world.”
