Magnolia Pictures has unveiled the trailer for the upcoming indie sci-fi film ‘Omni Loop,’ starring Ayo Edebiri and Mary-Louise Parker. The film, which premiered at SXSW, is set for a simultaneous theatrical and digital release on September 20, 2024.
Described as ‘Groundhog Day’ with a dark twist, ‘Omni Loop’ tells the story of Zoya Lowe, a quantum physicist portrayed by Parker, who finds herself trapped in a time loop with a growing black hole in her chest and only a week left to live. Unbeknownst to her doctors and loved ones, Zoya has relived this week countless times. Her endless cycle takes a turn when she meets Paula, a gifted student played by Edebiri. Together, they embark on a quest to save Zoya and unravel the mysteries of time travel.
Directed by Bernardo Britto, known for ‘Jacqueline (Argentine),’ the film made its world premiere at this year’s SXSW film festival. The cast includes Hannah Pearl Utt, Chris Witaske, Carlos Jacott, Harris Yulin, Steven Maier, and Eddie Cahill.
‘Omni Loop’ is a collaborative effort between 2AM and Lou Filmproduction. The film was produced by Benjamin Cohen, Patrick Donovan, and David Hinojosa, with executive producers Christine Vachon, Pamela Koffler, Christine D’Souza Gelb, and Kevin Rowe.
Eamonn Bowles, co-CEO of Magnolia Pictures, expressed his enthusiasm for the film, stating, “Mary-Louise Parker and Ayo Edebiri are spellbinding in Bernardo Britto’s terrifically twisty film. We look forward to releasing this September.”
Director Britto added, “It’s my instinct to say something weird or funny here, but maybe sometimes it’s best to just be sincere. I love this movie, I love the people I got to make it with, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to be working with the great team at Magnolia to get it out into the world.”
‘Omni Loop’ will be available in theaters and on digital platforms starting September 20, 2024.
