Frank Grillo (The Purge: Anarchy, The Grey) and Maria Bakalova (Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, Bodies Bodies Bodies) will star in the sci-fi survival thriller Override, Variety reports.
Production began this month in Belfast, with Jordan Downey (The Head Hunter, ThanksKilling) directing from a script he co-wrote with collaborators Jackson Murray and Kevin Stewart.
The film follows a futuristic soldier (Bakalova) who is left for dead. But with the help of a synthetic angel (Grillo) — the latest in battlefield A.I. — she must fight against the clock to survive a mortal wound.
James Harris from Tea Shop Productions (Fall, 47 Meters Down) is producing alongside Michael Downey (The Big Ugly). It was financed by Christian Mercuri’s Capstone.
Capture, the sales company launched earlier this year as a joint venture between Capstone Global and Signature Entertainment, will present the film to buyers at the upcoming American Film Market.
Override is a reunion of sorts for Grillo and Bakalova, who both lend their voices James Gunn’s adult animated superhero series “Creature Commandos.”
Downey’s previously film, The Cycle, is due out in 2026 from Shudder.
