"Unusual life form detected." What is it?! RLJE Films has debuted the full official trailer for
Ash, the next cinema project from acclaimed musician / filmmaker
Flying Lotus. It's ready for release in theaters
this March! It's his latest feature since making the experimental
Kuso film in 2017, along with a fun short film in the
V/H/S/99 anthology. A woman wakes up on a distant planet and finds the crew of her space station viciously killed. Her investigation into what happened sets in motion a terrifying chain of events. Apparently this is less experimental and more "contained" than
Kuso, with a full-on production budget. He shot it down in NZ: "People go to New Zealand to shoot
sci-fi and fantasy movies, so I was [working with] all these people who worked on
The Lord of the Rings and other Peter Jackson and James Cameron stuff."
Ash stars
Eiza González,
Aaron Paul,
Iko Uwais,
Kate Elliott,
Beulah Koale, and
Flying Lotus himself. This film will premiere at the 2025 SXSW Film Festival before it hits theaters in a few months. Can't wait to watch! Looks super trippy and mysterious and thrilling and extra strange. Always love jumping into original sci-fi. //
