Oscar nominees Maria Bakalova and David Strathairn will topline sci-fi dramedy O Horizon, Deadline reported.

The film is written and directed by Madeleine  Sackler. Abby (Bakalova), a brilliant, young neuroscientist has recently lost her father, Warren (Strathairn). Abby meets a programmer who has created a technology that reconnects Abby with her beloved father. Her relationship with her digitized dad then forces her to re-examine everything from her romantic relationships to her life's work, Deadline said.

Bakalova earned her 2021 Oscar nomination for her breakout supporting turn opposite Sacha Baron Cohen in Borat Subsequent Moviefilm. Bakalova appeared in Vesela Kazakova's Women Do Cry, which won a spot in Cannes' Un Certain Regard section in 2021. She recently starred in Halina Reijn's horror-comedy Bodies Bodies Bodies, and has been tapped to voice Cosmo the Spacedog in James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. She will also soon be seen in the Sofia Coppola-produced drama Fairyland, which is world premiering at Sundance 2023, and the Jerry Seinfeld-directed comedy Unfrosted, among other projects.

Strathairn earned a Best Actor nomination for George Clooney's Good Night, and Good Luck.
