The Purge star Rhys Wakefield is time traveling to stop a murder in the Australian sci-fi horror Alternate, writes Deadline.
The film is set in a high-rise office building where an overworked young executive (Wakefield) goes back in time four hours to save his girlfriend from being killed.
Writer-director Anthony Garland’s feature debut will be produced by Lady A Pictures’ Ali Mueller (“Challenger”) and SLA Films’ Anna Vincent (I Am Mother). Kindred Spirit’s Anita Gou will executive-produce.
The film is inspired by Garland’s proof of concept short “Snake”, which follows a girl working late one night who gets stuck in a time loop, adds the site who says that it’s currently making the festival circuit rounds and will premiere on November 12 as an Official Selection at the Oscar-qualifying HollyShorts Film Festival.
Endeavor Content has come aboard to handle North American rights with Rialto Distribution releasing in Australia and New Zealand.
