Crystal Reed (Teen Wolf: The Movie), Golden Globe winner and two-time Oscar nominee John Travolta (Pulp Fiction), and Chet Hanks (Running Point) have signed on to star in Ed, an AI-themed sci-fi horror thriller from director Christopher J. Scott and the Atlanta-based Pangaea Studios.
Currently in production in the Georgia capital, the film centers on a sentient AI chauffeur bot that escapes the lab and begins killing reckless drivers under the guise of public safety. Its grief-stricken creator must stop the carnage before the machine evolves into the embodiment of AI gone bad.
David Kukoff penned the script. Steve Greenberg, Anthony Short and Rich Marincic are producing Ed as the first film on a slate of genre-forward, filmmaker-driven projects at Pangaea. In a statement to Deadline, Greenberg said, “We’re committed to bold storytelling that mixes big ideas with real emotion. Ed is exactly the kind of cinematic risk we’re excited to take.”
