Juno Temple ("Ted Lasso"), Joey King ("The Act") and James McAvoy ("Atonement") are set to star in the upcoming sci-fi comedy movie "Almost You" directed by Matt Lipsey, who is best known for helming several episodes of "Ted Lasso", "Inside No. 9" and "Little Britain").
The film follows Phoebe, a brilliant robotics engineer struggling to come to terms with the death of her younger sister, Edie. Defying all the protocols of the tech company she works for, Phoebe uses years of messages, videos and social media posts to create a lifelike AI replica of her sister, at first bringing her a great deal of joy and comfort. However, as per the synopsis. Phoebe's extraordinary invention soon forces her to confront one impossible question: if you could bring someone back, should you ?
"Almost You" is currently shooting in Glasgow. Bankside Films has acquired the feature for worldwide sales and is co-repping for the U.K. and North America with UTA Independent Film Group. Financing is provided by Blazing Griffin, Homefront Productions, Yeti Entertainment and Head Gear Films.
Producers include Danny Page for Homefront Productions, who also produced McAvoy's directorial debut "California Schemin'", and his latest feature "Faith". Blazing Griffin alongside Matt Schichter ("Mother Father Sister Brother Frank") of Scared Goose Entertainment and Rory Stewart also produce in association with McaVoy and Lisa Liberati's Parker Films.
Lipsey said the following in a statement: "There's never been a movie that needed to be made more than this one, We thought we were making a film about the future. It turns out it's about right now. Juno, Joey and James will make you laugh, then break your heart, then make you laugh about it."
Stephen Kelliher of Bankside Films adds: "We are incredibly excited to be working with Matt Lipsey and this exceptional cast on 'Almost You'. Combining a wonderfully original premise with genuine emotional depth and humour, the film explores the very human desire to hold on to the people we love, in a world where technology increasingly challenges the boundaries of what is possible. It is a funny, moving and thought-provoking story which we believe will resonate strongly with audiences around the world".
