Darkland Distribution has picked up the British sci-fi thriller Deus that may or may not take a horrific turn.
Variety shares the first image from the film, described as a “provocative and thought-provoking” sci-fi thriller, which Darkland will release in both the U.K. and North America.
Deus stars Claudia Black (“Farscape”) and David O’Hara (Doomsday, Cowboys and Aliens) as astronauts who are sent to investigate when a mysterious dark sphere is discovered orbiting Mars. Waking from an 8-month hibernation aboard their vessel, the Achilles, they discover the sphere is actually a blinding light from which one word is repeatedly transmitted in over four thousand languages: God.
“The stunned and frightened crew face a series of bewildering questions,” added the synopsis shared by Variety. “Will their encounter with ‘God’ drag them to the edge of insanity? Will the Achilles’crew be the first humans in history to retrieve proof of God’s existence? If so, what does this mean for science, for them, and for humankind?”
Phil Davis (“Vera Drake”) also stars in Deus, written and directed by British Independent Film Award winner Steve Stone.
