RLJE Films and Shudder have acquired Ash, a new sci-fi horror film from Grammy Award Winner and filmmaker Flying Lotus (aka Steven Ellison). The news comes from Shudder’s New York Comic Con panel today, where the streaming service also unveiled a trippy, violent first look trailer.
RLJE will release Ash in theaters wide in 2025, followed by a streaming debut on Shudder.
The film is set “on the mysterious planet of Ash, Riya awakens to find her crew slaughtered. When a man named Brion arrives to rescue her, an ordeal of psychological and physical terror ensues while Riya and Brion must decide if they can trust one another to survive.”
Eiza González (Baby Driver) and Aaron Paul (“Breaking Bad”) will star in Ash, alongside Iko Uwais (The Raid: Redemption), Beulah Koale, and Kate Elliott.
Ash is written by Jonni Remmler and will feature an original score composed by Flying Lotus, whose previous films include the Shudder Original KUSO and a segment in V/H/S/99. It sounds like music will be very important in this sci-fi horror film. “Music gives you an ambiance. It definitely sets you up,” Gonzalez told EW about the film. “So having this specific movie and his specific music being made at the same time was so incredibly helpful. Even little details he gave us, like, ‘I want such-and-such instrument predominantly throughout the movie,’ gave us a completely different vibe, especially for me and Aaron. We have a lot of scenes together, and our dynamic is super intense and crucial in the film, so it really made a gigantic difference.”
“We are building something fresh and unique with Ash, and having Eiza and Aaron in this world just makes it flames. They are absolute magic makers, brave, and equally inspiring. All that to say… We ’bout to kill this shit,“ said Flying Lotus previously about the project.
