'Happy Valley' Star Joins British Sci-Fi Film 'Chatlines'
Imagine a movie like 'Black Mirror' but about two guys who are very sick and don't have much time left.
One day, a man named Jordan, who is in 2027 and has cancer, goes on an old chat app and meets Danny, who thinks it's 2005 and is also sick.
They start talking about their lives and hopes, even though they know they might not live much longer.
The movie will star people from famous shows and movies.
It's being made by the same company that made a movie about a messed-up relationship.
Siobhan Finneran from 'Happy Valley' will star in the British LGBTQ+ sci-fi film 'Chatlines'.
The movie is described as 'Black Mirror-esque' and explores death in the internet age.
The film follows Jordan, a man with terminal cancer in 2027, connecting with another terminally ill man, Danny, through an old chat app.
Lloyd Eyre-Morgan and Nico Mirallegro also star in 'Chatlines'.
Filming for the movie begins this week.
