by

Hudson Williams, known for his role in Heated Rivalry, will star in a new thriller called Apparatus alongside Dylan O’Brien of Twinless. Williams plays Tyler, a rideshare driver down on his luck, in the darkly comedic film.

Tyler gets involved with JP, an entrepreneur portrayed by O’Brien, who promises him a chance to work in his handheld massager business.

Tyler quickly discovers that what seemed like a perfect chance is actually a nightmare, and he’s dragged into a dangerous and destructive situation by JP.

According to Deadline, the movie will be the first film directed by Canadian actor Sofia Banzhaf, who is known for her work in I Am in the World as Free and Slender as a Deer on a Plain. Banzhaf co-wrote the screenplay with Grayson Moore.

Actor Williams became well-known for his role alongside Connor Storrie in the popular HBO series Heated Rivalry, a romantic story centered around hockey and the LGBTQ+ community. The show has been picked up for another season.

O’Brien recently appeared in the horror film Send Help, directed by Sam Raimi. She starred alongside Rachel McAdams as coworkers who find themselves stranded on a deserted island after their plane crashes.

Director Sam Raimi explained that actor Bruce Campbell (O’Brien) was the driving force behind taking his character to its limits, and Raimi admitted he was worried about how far Campbell would go.
