Another Earth may not have become a massive success at the box office, but it certainly got director Mike Cahill noticed when it debuted at Sundance in 2011. Now he’s planning his follow-up film, i Origins.
Another Earth focussed on a woman (Brit Marling) dealing with the difficulties of life after it’s reveals another, parallel Earth exists, causing her to wonder if another version of herself lives there and whether they made better decisions with their life.
i Origins continues the science tinge, with Hollywood.com saying it, ‘Connects the lives of the most unlikely people from around the globe. One doctor, on the brink of a scientific discovery which will have historical ramifications, travels to India to search for the one person, a young Indian girl, who can prove or disprove his theory. The story follows the incredible journeys that bring these strangers together, and proves there is no separating matters of science and matters of the heart.’
The movie will shoot in New York City.
