Four ‘Star Trek’ Vets Reunite For Sci-Fi ‘Life 2.0’, OneTwoThree Media Launches AFM Sales; Brit Comedy With Stephen Fry, Jane Horrocks Also On Slate

EXCLUSIVE: OneTwoThree Media is launching worldwide sales ahead of the AFM on the sci-fi feature Life 2.0, written and directed by Star Trek alum Michael Dorn (Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine), who also stars.

Dorn is joined in the film by fellow Star Trek franchise vets Marina Sirtis (Star Trek: The Next Generation), Michelle Hurd (Star Trek: Picard), and Dominic Keating (Star Trek: Enterprise).

Dorn “plays an operative in deep-space isolation, with only an AI hologram for company, until an enigmatic new companion arrives. An accident uncovers the truth about their origins, forcing a fight for survival against motives engineered back on Earth.”

Produced by Emily Corcoran for Cork Films and Michael Dorn for Sabrejet, the film was shot entirely in the UK. The project marks Dorn’s feature directing debut and is the first science-fiction feature to reunite Dorn and Sirtis since 2002’s Star Trek: Nemesis.

Alongside this title, the company has taken on international sales for two further features: the UK sci-fi comedy Time Travel Is Dangerous! and the US psychological thriller The Black Box.

Also new to OneTwoThree Media’s slate is Time Travel Is Dangerous!, directed by Chris Reading. The London-set comedy feature is narrated by Stephen Fry and stars Johnny Vegas, Jane Horrocks, Sophie Thompson, and Mark Heap, with Brian Blessed voicing an octopus monster. It premiered at the Austin Film Festival.

The third new addition is U.S. film The Black Box, described as a psychological thriller directed by Vitor Cardoso and Ricardo R. Marques. Set in the Hollywood Hills during a graduation farewell party, “a group of friends stumbles upon ‘The Black Box’ — an elusive internet sensation and twisted version of Truth or Dare said to choose its own players.”

Deals across the slate were negotiated for OneTwoThree Media by Joey Dawson with Emily Corcoran of Cork Films on Life 2.0, and Chris Reading of The Unreason Ltd on Time Travel Is Dangerous!, and Alan Green with Mark Silba on The Black Box.
