In Afraid, Cho takes on the role of Curtis, a family man selected to beta test AIA, a revolutionary digital family assistant. As described in the official synopsis, “Taking smart home to the next level, once the unit and all its sensors and cameras are installed in their home, AIA seems able to do it all. She learns the family's behaviors and begins to anticipate their needs. And she can make sure nothing – and no one – gets in her family's way.”
The cast includes a stellar lineup, featuring Katherine Waterston, Havana Rose Liu, Lukita Maxwell, David Dastmalchian, and Keith Carradine, each bringing their unique flair to this unnerving tale. This ensemble promises to deliver gripping performances that will enhance the film's eerie atmosphere.
Directed and written by Chris Weitz, a filmmaker known for his versatility with credits like About a Boy, The Twilight Saga: New Moon, and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Afraid showcases his ability to blend genres and create suspense. Weitz also steps into the role of producer alongside Jason Blum and Andrew Miano, ensuring that the movie benefits from top-tier production quality.
