Sterling K. Brown and Mark Duplass to Star in Sci-Fi Movie ‘Biosphere’
Variety is reporting that Emmy winners Sterling K. Brown and Mark Duplass have teamed up for a new sci-fi movie titled “Biosphere,” directed by Mel Eslyn.
The mysterious movie marks Eslyn’s feature directorial debut. Production on “Biosphere” — written by Eslyn and Duplass — has wrapped, with details of the project’s plot being kept secret.
The new movie is produced by Duplass Brothers Productions and Zackary Drucker, who previously co-directed the Duplass Brothers-produced docuseries “The Lady and the Dale.” ICM Partners is handling worldwide sales for the project.
Eslyn, who was named president of Duplass Brothers Productions in 2017, is the veteran producer behind movies and television series that include “The One I Love,” “Outside In” and “Paddleton.” She also directed three episode of the HBO anthology show “Room 104” and produced the series in its entirety.
Brown is a two-time Emmy winner, best known for his work on NBC’s “This Is Us,” for which he earned his fifth consecutive Emmy nomination earlier this year. Brown is also Emmy-nominated in the outstanding narrator category for CNN’s six-part docuseries “Lincoln: Divided We Stand.” In addition to his award-winning television performances in FX’s “The People v. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story” (Brown won his first Emmy for his portrayal of prosecutor Christopher Darden), “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” and “Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” his film credits include Marvel’s “Black Panther,” “Waves” and “Frozen 2.” The actor recently wrapped production on the indie film “Honk for Jesus, Save Your Soul,” which he is also producing under his Indian Meadows Productions banner and also has an action-comedy in the works with Randall Park for Amazon Studios. Brown is also set to star in the Amazon action film “Coyote Blue,” from director Hanelle M. Culpepper and “John Wick” screenwriter Derek Kolstad.
