Morfydd Clark (The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power) and Ariyon Bakare (His Dark Materials) are set to lead UFO thriller Arctic Skies, which Independent Entertainment will launch for sales at the upcoming European Film Market in Berlin.
The sci-fi project, inspired by one of the most well-documented UFO encounters on record, follows the harrowing journey of a cargo plane crew who, while flying at 40,000 feet above the Arctic Circle, become the target of otherworldly attention.
Pic will be shot at Steven Knight’s Digbeth Loc. Studios in Birmingham, UK, which has recently hosted Knight’s Peaky Blinders movie for Netflix.
Writer-directors are Birmingham duo Elliot and Zander Weaver of Elliander Pictures, which is producing with Lowkey Films. +
