Actors Tessa Thompson and Joseph Gordon-Levitt are set to star in sci-fi thriller movie "Ash". 

According to entertainment website Variety, the film will be directed by Grammy Award-winning record producer Flying Lotus. 

Thompson will essay the role of a space station worker who wakes up on a distant planet to find her colleagues viciously killed, and then forced to work together with the man (Gordon-Levitt) sent to rescue her. 

"As their investigation into what happened sets in motion a terrifying chain of events, the rescuer begins to wonder how innocent she really is," the logline reads.

“Ash” is based on an original screenplay written by Jonni Remmler.
