The Bear's Ayo Edebiri star continues to rise as she takes a central role in time loop film Omni Loop, opposite Mary-Louise Parker.
Excuse the poor time travel gag, but what is it about time loop movies that never gets old?
We’ve seen the narrative conceit bolted on to almost every genre imaginable at this point, but it’s an idea that still feels fresh even though the decades since 1993’s Groundhog Day have given us Edge Of Tomorrow, Palm Springs, Happy Death Day, Source Code and more. There’s a whole range of genres in that list alone and the list of time loop movies goes way beyond that smattering of titles.
Get set for another entry in the genre, with the arrival of Omni Loop in September. The film premiered at South by Southwest in March of this year. Ahead of the film’s release in the US next month, we now have a trailer to enjoy. The Bear's Ayo Edebiri and Weeds’ Mary-Louise Parker lead the cast, whilst Bernando Britto writes and directs.
Here’s the synopsis:
The story follows a jaded quantum physicist (Parker) who finds herself stuck in a time loop thanks to a black hole growing in her chest and only a week to live. But when she meets a gifted student (Edeibiri), there’s a chance to save her life – and also potentially unlock the mysteries of time travel. At the same time, the loops force the physicist to look back on her life and regrets and try and potentially resolve things left unsaid.
There’s no specified release date for the UK yet, nor do we know what manner of release the film will be getting. Still, it’s sure to arrive in some shape or form in the near future so if you’re a fan of the time loop genre, keep an eye out. You can catch the trailer below.
