Odette Annable to Lead Horror Film ‘Postmortem’ as Sublimity Launches Sales at TIFF
Odette Annable will star in the horror feature ‘Postmortem,’ with Sublimity Entertainment launching international sales at the Toronto International Film Festival market. The film, written and directed by a Colombian genre filmmaker, also features Allegra Leguizamo, Julio Cesar Cedillo, Andres Londono, and Tony Revolori.
Odette Annable, known for her roles in «Cloverfield» and «The Unborn,» is set to lead the cast of the horror feature «Postmortem.» The announcement comes as Los Angeles-based Sublimity Entertainment prepares to launch international sales on the project ahead of the Toronto International Film Festival market.
The film brings together a cast that includes Allegra Leguizamo («Tin Soldier»), Julio Cesar Cedillo («Sicario»), Andres Londono («Fear the Walking Dead»), and Tony Revolori («Scream VI»). «Postmortem» is written and directed by a Colombian genre filmmaker, marking a notable entry in the international horror circuit. The project has been described as under-the-radar, with the TIFF market serving as the platform to introduce it to global buyers.
Annable’s casting continues a career that has balanced mainstream studio productions with genre work. Her breakout performance in Matt Reeves’ «Cloverfield» established her as a fixture in modern science-fiction and horror, and she later appeared in the supernatural thriller «The Unborn.» More recently, she has taken on roles in television series, including a stint on the medical drama «The Resident.»
Revolori, who joins the cast, is best known for his work in the «Scream» franchise and his role in Wes Anderson’s «The Grand Budapest Hotel.» Cedillo has built a reputation in crime dramas and Westerns, with credits including «Sicario» and «The Mandalorian.» Leguizamo and Londono round out the ensemble, bringing experience from both film and serialized television.
The move to launch sales at TIFF signals an ambition to position «Postmortem» within the competitive horror market, a genre that has seen sustained international demand. The festival’s market has become a key venue for genre titles seeking distribution deals across multiple territories. Sublimity Entertainment, which focuses on sales and production, has previously handled a range of independent features.
Details about the plot remain under wraps, but the involvement of a Colombian director points to a potential infusion of regional horror sensibilities into a broader international framework. The film’s production status and release timeline have not been disclosed, though the TIFF market presentation is expected to generate early buzz among distributors.
For Annable, the project represents another step into horror after her earlier work in the genre. For the rest of the cast, it offers an opportunity to appear in a film that could travel widely on the festival circuit. The combination of a recognizable lead and a seasoned supporting cast may give «Postmortem» an edge as buyers evaluate their slates for the coming year.
