Jessica Rothe (Happy Death Day) has signed on to star in the dark sci-fi horror movie "Affection."
The pic hails from BT Meza, who directs from his own script, and marks his feature debut.
Joseph Cross (Mindhunter) and young up-and-comer Julianna Layne (Prodigal Son) also star.
The film's synopsis reads: "Ellie (Rothe), who is stuck in a cyclical nightmare. Grappling with a condition that erratically resets her memory, she’s left unable to remember her husband (Cross) or daughter (Julianna Layne). Each reset leaves her disoriented and haunted with vivid memories of a life she’s never lived."
"Affection" is a production of Superconductive in partnership with Minutehand Pictures and Circa 1888.
The film’s producers are Meza, Austin Walk, Bay Dariz (Hypochondriac), and JP Ouellette (Mass). Christian Henderson and Christy Walker are serving as executive producers.
Rothe is best known for her roles in "Happy Death Day" and "Happy Death Day 2U," a pair of low-budget horror films from Universal Pictures and Blumhouse which together grossed over $190M globally.
She has also been seen in titles like Lionsgate’s "Boy Kills World" and "La La Land", as well as series like "Utopia," "Chicago P.D.," and "High Maintenance".
In film, Cross’ credits include Paul Thomas Anderson’s "Licorice Pizza", David Fincher’s "Mank", and Steven Spielberg’s "Lincoln," as well as acclaimed titles like "Devotion," and "Milk".
He has also been seen on shows like "Big Little Lies" and "Mindhunter".
