Sci-Fi Bulletin: Exploring the Universes of SF, Fantasy, Horror and Spy-fi!

The full cast for the adaptation of Alex Scarrow’s Last Light has been revealed.

Petro-chemist Andy Nielsen knows how dependent the world is on oil; if something were to happen to the world’s oil supply, it would set off a chain reaction: transportation would grind to a halt, supplies would cease to be delivered, law enforcement would be overwhelmed. While on a business trip to the Middle East, Andy realizes that his worst fears are coming true and his family is separated at this crucial moment. His teenage daughter, Laura, is alone at home in London while his wife, Elena, and young son, Sam, are in Paris. Amid this chaos, each family member will sacrifice everything to find one another, despite the distance and the dangers that separate them.

Matthew Fox leads, with Alyth Ross as Laura, a passionate and informed university student committed to confronting the mounting climate change crisis and finding a solution to help the planet. Unfortunately, Laura’s passion puts her in confrontation with her father, Andy Yeats (Fox), a scientist who works for the oil industry. Taylor Fay will play eight-year-old Sam, who is fighting a degenerative eye disease that is slowly taking away his sight.   Joanne Froggatt will play Elena.

Amber Rose Revah (The Punisher) will play Mika Bakhash, whose job is to ensure energy-related compliance between big oil and the British government; Victor Alli (Belfast, Grantchester) plays Owen Jones, a brilliant college student who has been working his way through school; Tom Wlaschiha (Game of Thrones, Stranger Things) appears as Karl Bergmann, a British Government worker with contacts in the Parliament and the MI6; and Hakeem Jomah (Rashash, Kidnap) is Khalil Al-Qatani, the head of a big oil company who is committed to moving away from their economic reliance on oil and towards a huge investment in renewable energy resources.
