Overview
- The Apple Studios feature, first reported Thursday by Deadline, pairs Vanessa Kirby and Yahya Abdul‑Mateen II in a sci‑fi action thriller titled Liminal.
- Louis Leterrier, known for Fast X and Lupin, will direct from a script by Justin Rhodes, with producers from AWA Studios and The Walsh Company attached.
- The film adapts AWA’s Telepaths, a graphic novel by J. Michael Straczynski, Steve Epting, and Brian Reber that imagines sudden mass telepathy after an electromagnetic event.
- The project is in early preproduction with plot, broader casting, and a release date kept under wraps.
- Coverage expanded quickly after Deadline’s exclusive, with outlets tying the move to Apple’s growing sci‑fi slate and some mislabeling it as a TV series rather than an Apple Original Films feature.
