Director James Ward Byrkit, Producer Kate Andrews Prepping Follow-Up To 2013 Sci-Fi Thriller ‘Coherence’


2013's 'Coherence' is getting a feature follow-up courtesy of collaborators James Ward Byrkit and Kate Andrews, Deadline can exclusively reveal.

Starring Emily Baldoni, Maury Sterling, Nicholas Brendon and more, Coherence watches as eight friends at a dinner party experience a disturbing chain of reality-bending events when a comet passes by, unraveling hidden truths and testing their grasp on reality. Despite its famously small budget, it’s gone on to be mentioned in numerous Top 10 lists as one of the greatest mind-bending sci-fi thrillers of the 21st century and has garnered a cult-like following amongst science fiction fans and independent filmmakers alike. In a statement to Deadline on the genesis of the follow-up, Byrkit explained, “I’ve been inundated with pitches for sequels and offers for remakes ever since the film came out but nothing ever inspired us until Kate Andrews sent me an email with two words that unlocked the box.
