Indie sci-fi horror, 5th Passenger, will commence principle photography this winter at
Space Command Studios. Helmed by newcomers Scott Baker and Morgan Lariah, it
features Marina Sirtis from Star Trek: The Next Generation ,
Tim Russ, Robert Picardo and Manu Intiraymi from Star Trek: Voyager. And
Doug Jones from Hellboy, Pan’s Labyrinth, currently on The
Strain and Falling Skies.
Set
in 2151, after the Yellowstone Caldera volcano erupts throwing the Earth into
chaos, 5th Passenger tells the story
of a secretly pregnant female officer and her four man crew adrift in deep
space in an escape pod after their transport ship explodes before reaching the
new home planet. They fight amongst themselves as they run low on air, but must
work together to find a vicious alien hiding aboard their craft before it kills
them all.
Director and co-writer, Scott Baker’s desire to create this film comes
from his love of classic sci-fi thrillers like Alien, Event Horizon and John
Carpenter’s The Thing. Pre-production is currently underway and principle
photography will begin this winter after production wraps on Marc Zicree’s epic
science fiction film, Space Command with the help of crowdfunding.at:
