EXCLUSIVE: Rosario Dawson (Ahsoka) has joined the cast of Deepest, Darkest, an upcoming anthology film architected by Marc Bernardin (Star Trek: Picard) and Tiffany Smith, who’s also part of the cast.
Exec produced by Akela Cooper (M3GAN) and David Dastmalchian (Late Night With the Devil), Deepest, Darkest has invited myriad television writing all-stars behind the lens to tell stories of horror, suspense, dark comedy, and edgy science fiction, each revolving around that most human of impulses: the keeping of secrets.
Directors of the segments include LaToya Morgan (The Walking Dead), Deric A. Hughes & Benjamin Raab (Quantum Leap), Ubah Mohamed (The Handmaid’s Tale), Lamont Magee (Black Lightning), Sujata Day (Insecure), and Kevin Avery (The Great North). Others in the cast include Ernie Hudson, Raymond Lee, Phil LaMarr, Yetide Badaki and Caitlin Bassett, as well as writer-directors Avery and Day.
As with his 2023 short Splinter, Bernardin has taken to Kickstarter to crowdfund this project, the hope being to cover funds for both production and post. Rachel Walker, Carrie Finn, and Kyle Smithers are serving as producers.
Stated Dawson on her involvement, “I’m a big fan of… well, I guess I shouldn’t tell you which project I’m working on but all of the writers and directors [on DEEPEST, DARKEST] are amazing, so getting a chance to work with them was an opportunity that I didn’t want to miss.”
A multiple Critics’ Choice Award nominee, Dawson stars on Disney+’s acclaimed Star Wars series Ahsoka, which has a second season in development. Most recently, she wrapped opposite Alexandra Shipp and Milla Jovovich on Midnight, an action thriller from first-time feature filmmaker Joshua Otis, for which she also served as producer.
Dawson is repped by CAA and Untitled Entertainment.
