Production is set to get underway this November on director Staci Layne Wilson’s (Fetish Factory) sci-fi comedy The Second Age of Aquarius, which is described as “Weird Science meets The Odd Couple meets Oliver Stone’s The Doors“.
Ever wonder what it would be like to bring your favorite dead rock star back to life? Alberta certainly has. Since she was a kid, she’s dreamt of a world where ultimate 60s rock icon Russell Aquarius was still alive and writing songs just for her. Now a successful computer programmer, she takes her fandom and wishful thinking a step further and makes a Russell Aquarius avatar. Her loneliness and a freak power outage give her more than she bargains for when sparks fly not just in her computer, but also in reality when Russell’s avatar comes to life!
The Second Age of Aquarius is written by Darren Gordon Smith (Repo! The Genetic Opera) and Staci Layne Wilson, and will feature a cast that includes r Christina Jacqueline Calph (Arthur) as Alberta Stevens and Michael Ursu (Wildness) as Russell Aquarius, along with Diane Ayala Goldner (Fetish Factory), Jeffrey Henderson (Wendigo), Keeshan Giles (Curb Your Enthusiasm), and Brooke Lewis Bellas (Sinatra Club). Principal photography is set to begin in November 2019.
