Octavia Spencer, Lucy Liu and Joseph Gordon-Levitt to lead new sci-fi comedy Nobody Nothing Nowhere

Octavia Spencer, Lucy Liu, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt are set to star in Nothing Nobody Nowhere, a new sci-fi comedy from Rachel Wolther and Alex H. Fischer.

A 2018 Black List and Sundance Screenwriter Labs script, Nobody Nothing Nowhere tells the story of Ruth, "one of the Non-People, human-looking beings designed and trained for the sole purpose of filling in a realistic world for a bland guy named Dave, the only person that actually exists on Earth. Tired of serving as an extra in someone else’s life, Ruth is ready to demand a life of her own.”

Wolther and Fischer both penned the script and will both direct, with the film being Wolther's feature directorial debut. Fischer previously helmed the sci-fi comedy Save Yourselves!, which starred Sunita Mani and John Paul Reynolds as a young Brooklyn couple who heads to an upstate cabin to unplug from reality and are all alone when planet earth suddenly falls under attack.

"Nobody Nothing Nowhere is a wholly original feature film that presents a world and its characters in an entirely unique way," Spencer said in an official statement. "Having the opportunity to work with Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Lucy Liu is a dream come true! It is always a priority for me, and my partners at Orit Entertainment, to produce projects that entertain and bring the light, hope, and promise audiences are craving. I am excited to be part of such an inventive and thoughtful project."
