Needle in a Timestack (2021)

Needle in a Timestack Movie Storyline. If love is in the form of a circle, what lines would you cross to be with your soulmate? In this gripping, near-future love story directed by Oscar winner John Ridley, Nick and Janine (Oscar nominees Leslie Odom, Jr. and Cynthia Erivo) live in marital bliss, until Janine’s ex-husband (Orlando Bloom) warps time to try to tear them apart using Nick’s college girlfriend (Freida Pinto). As Nick’s memories and reality disappear, he must decide what he’s willing to sacrifice in order to hold onto — or let go of — everything he loves. Can love endure in a future where time is fluid, and all of life may be just an illusion?

After winning the Oscar for adapting the screenplay of 12 Years a Slave and directing the Jimi Hendrix biopic, Jimi: All Is by My Side, John Ridley is ready to show he can venture into other genres with Needle in a Timestack, a sci-fi romance written and directed by Ridley that features Cynthia Erivo, Orlando Bloom, Leslie Odom Jr., and Freida Pinto. In the story, a time traveler decides to warp time itself in order to mess with the relationship of his ex-wife.
