Edoardo Ballerini (Boardwalk Empire, The Sopranos) will star in sci-fi thriller Omphalos, written and directed by Gabriel Judet-Weinshel.
Omphalos is set to begin in the summer in New York and New Mexico with Judet-Weinshel’s feature directorial debut from his own script; co-starring feature newcomers Greg Bennick and Sean Gaffney.
The flick will be photographed by George Nicholas and Aidan Fraser’s (Pirates of the Caribbean, Star Wars) FX visual effects will presumably play prominently in the film’s ambitious imagery.
Storyline follows Darius Lefaux, a private detective since murder comes in and Darius decides to take the case. There’s something curious about this one. In the blurry photograph of the body, the victim’s face looks oddly familiar. Darius heads to the scene of the crime and is astonished to see that the dead man on the ground is … him.
