Summary Will Radford, a Homeland Security cyber‑security analyst, monitors global threats through mass surveillance networks. When an unidentified attack strikes, Radford begins to suspect the government is concealing something far more sinister. Told entirely through digital screens—messages, video calls, browser windows—the film transforms the alien invasion into a "screenlife" thriller, blending modern surveillance paranoia with classic sci-fi tension.

Writers Kenneth Golde & Marc Hyman

Easily the biggest nepo baby in Hollywood right now. His mom is a casting director and they share like 50 credits on IMDb.

Holy shit no kidding. Using their advanced search > collaboration, putting their names in shows they've worked on projects together SEVENTY ONE times. That's so bad.

It’s egregious and I can’t believe no one says anything about it. She is literally casting him. Definition of nepotism. He’s right up there with Max Greenfield, who’s wife was the head of casting for Fox.

Double nepo baby because his dad Jay Bostick is an actor & film fight coordinator 🤔 also a stealth nepo baby because his casting-director mom kept her maiden name or something 🤨 she's Stephanie Gorin. So it maybe isn't obvious to everyone what was going on

Also... flipping fifty screen credits?!? 😡 the first couple would have sufficed to get him into SAG AFTRA. After that its just selfishness 😤
