Ash (2025 film)

Ash, release date March 21, 2025, is an American science fiction horror-thriller directed by Flying Lotus and written by Jonni Remmler. Set on a distant planet, the film follows Riya, an astronaut who wakes up to find her entire crew dead. With fragmented memories and growing paranoia, she must determine whether she can trust the man sent to rescue her after he receives her distress signal.

Starring Eiza González as Riya and Aaron Paul as Brion, the cast also includes Iko Uwais, Beulah Koale, Kate Elliott, and Flying Lotus. Initially set to feature Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Tessa Thompson, the film underwent major casting changes in early development, with González and Paul stepping in as leads.

Filmed in New Zealand, Ash combines psychological tension with atmospheric sci-fi horror. With Flying Lotus at the helm, the film promises a visually striking, suspenseful experience that explores memory, identity, and trust in a terrifyingly isolated setting.
