It’s called MK Ultra, from writer-director Joseph Sorrentino (the documentary Coyote), and it stars Anson Mount ( Star Trek: Discovery) as a psychiatrist whose professional and ethical boundaries are tested when he becomes involved in the project.

It was designed to develop interrogation techniques with LSD, brainwashing, and psychological torture and used human subjects? Well, it’s yet another slice of American history they don’t teach you in school, and now there’s going to be a movie about it. MK Ultra co-stars Jen Richards in CIA drug dramaĭid you know that in the 1950s and ’60s, the CIA engaged in a program called Project MKUltra. Look for it to roll out into the world soon after. The film will get its world premiere at this summer’s Outfest. Along for the ride are Limbo alum Julie Halston, Tim Daly, and stand-up queen Margaret Cho. When a friend’s death reveals the existence of the final reel of a classic horror film that was thought to be lost, a race to cash in commences with a variety of ruthless and comedic schemes. That’s a long-winded way of saying he’s back and ready for the big screen again with The Sixth Reel.Ĭo-written and co-directed by Busch and Carl Andress, Busch’s latest project stars as a movie memorabilia collector obsessed with classic Hollywood. The legendary playwright and drag performer Charles Busch ( Psycho Beach Party, Die, Mommie, Die!) forged his own path with the off-Broadway Theatre-in-Limbo company and, after creating those comedy mainstays, didn’t rest on that success. Treasure hunting with Charles Busch and Margaret Cho in The Sixth Reel Smith, starring people we enjoy, we’ll be watching.

Our favorite detail: Billings’ character, a major role as a mysterious detective, is transgender, as was the character in the original novel, so three cheers for giving trans roles to trans actors. Next, she’ll step into a role in the upcoming Amazon original series The Peripheral, starring Chloe Grace Moretz and Jack Reynor (the boyfriend in the bear costume in Midsommar).īased on the novel by legendary author William Gibson, the plot involves mysterious cyberspace-based employment, gaming, and possibly murder, none of which will really make sense until we watch it. And it’s exciting to watch a performer come into their own on-screen, which is how it seems to be going for her. She’s the reason we didn’t bail on The Conners. We are huge fans of trans actor Alexandra Billings. Alexandra Billings, photo by KathClick The Peripheral moves into the cyberfuture with Alexandra Billings
