IFC Films has acquired North American rights to “Biosphere,” producer Mel Eslyn’s feature directorial debut. A press release announced that the sci-fi comedy will be released in 2023 with streaming to follow exclusively on AMC+.
Written by Eslyn and Mark Duplass, “Biosphere” is set in the “not-so-distant future” and sees “The Morning Show’s” Duplass and “This Is Us” alumna Sterling K. Brown playing the last two men on Earth. The best friends — and their relationship — must evolve if they have any hope of saving humanity.
“Biosphere” premiered at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival.
Arianna Bocco, President of IFC Films, said, “We are thrilled to work with producer Mel Eslyn again to bring her extraordinary feature directing debut out into the world and could not be more excited to work with her [producing] partners, Mark and Jay Duplass. Mark and Jay are exactly the kind of partners you dream of working with in this business as they are committed to supporting new talent and original projects. ‘Biosphere’ is a prime example of this creative team and their ability to brilliantly push the envelope, and with Mark opposite the talented Sterling K. Brown, the film is guaranteed to steal hearts.”
Eslyn’s producing credits include Lynn Shelton’s “Outside In” and Natalie Morales’ “Language Lessons.” Acclaimed docuseries “The Lady and the Dale” and Clea DuVall’s “The Intervention” are among her exec producing credits.
