Freestyle Releasing has acquired U.S. theatrical distribution rights to Goldove’s upcoming sci-fi thriller “Lumina,” starring Grey Damon, Kika Magalhães and Yasmin Kassim.
Gabriel Beristain, who was has photography credits on “Iron Man” and “Guardians of the Galaxy,” is attached to make his directorial debut. Lynda McKoy, President and CEO of Goldove Entertainment, is set to produce with Gino McKoy, who also wrote the screenplay.
The story involves a young college graduate whose girlfriend vanishes in a blinding flash of light. Determined to find her at any cost, he is drawn into a dangerous, otherworldly web of distortions as he seeks to discover the truth behind her disappearance.
Pre-production is set to begin in the summer. Financing was arranged by Toronto’s Apophis Capital Group, which is owned by McKoy, formerly a director at Royal Bank of Canada.
“The material is bold and cerebral, distinctive from your standard alien movie fare,” said McKoy. “’Lumina’ is like nothing you’ve seen before.”
