LD Entertainment has greenlit the contained space thriller ISS, and is reuniting with director Gabriela Cowperthwaite, who will direct the film with Chris Messina starring. The two previously partnered together on Megan Leavey. The ensemble cast also includes Chris Messina, Pilou Asbæk, John Gallagher Jr., Costa Ronin and Masha Mashkova.

At any given moment, there are roughly six astronauts living aboard the International Space Station (ISS) and the thriller follows the actions they take after receiving distressing information from Earth that threatens their missions and their lives.

Nick Shafir wrote the screenplay, which was featured in the recent 2020 Black List. Production is set to begin in Wilmington, NC in February 2021. LD’s Mickey Liddell and Pete Shilaimon are producing. ~Deadline
