ARQ is a post-apocalyptic thriller set in the near future when the oil supply has run dry.Trapped in a house and surrounded by a gang of mysterious masked intruders, an engineer (Amell) must protect a technology that could deliver unlimited energy and end the wars that have consumed the world. The only problem is that the technology has created a time loop that condemns him and his friends all to relive the same day over and over.
The movie is due to begin shooting this winter in Toronto and Lost City and XYZ Films will produce the film, which is written and directed by Tony Elliott (ORPHAN BLACK). Netflix has obtained exclusive worldwide distribution rights for the film.
Amell will be a busy man then in coming months, as he will next be seen in both the revival of THE X-FILES in addition to another guest spot on THE FLASH. Taylor’s next feature work includes the film GOLD, starring Matthew McConaughey and Bryce Dallas Howard.
