Andrew McCarthy Sci-Fi Pic ‘Orion’ Acquired By Hyde Park International

Hyde Park International has picked up foreign sales rights to Jaco Bouwer’s sci-fi thriller Orion starring Andrew McCarthy, Debby Ryan and Drew Van Acker.

Orion is set for a nationwide U.S. release through Blue Harbor this fall.

In the pic, McCarthy plays Jim, a NASA interrogator who is pitted against Apollo (Van Acker), an amnesiac astronaut whose recent space mission has ended catastrophically. But not everything is as it first seems in the charged battle of wits that ensues as Jim attempts to reconstruct Apollo’s fractured memories of the mission in order to determine what — or who — slaughtered the crew before their craft crash-landed back on Earth.
