The upcoming sci-fi/horror anthology series “Dark/Web” has added two wonderful faces to its cast in the form of Robert Davi (The Goonies) and Julie Benz (“Dexter”).
From the official press release:
Davi, who has appeared in over 100 films in his career, plays an ethically challenged doctor in the episode, “Transplant”, written and directed by Mario Miscione (“The Vault”) from a story by Tim Nardelli. The episode centers on a terminally ill man in need of a heart transplant. When time runs out, he turns to black market organ sales on the deep web run by an ethically challenged doctor (Davi); the heart saves his life, but the dark side effects that come with it lead to a search for it’s true owner.
Julie Benz will appear in the episode “Rideshare”, which is described by writer/director Boman Modine as a post-modern serial killer origin story centered around an Uber-esque ride sharing service.
Also joining the cast are Hayley Marie Norman, Dora Madison, Griffin Freeman, Cole Bernstein, Duane Shepard Sr., Amin El Gamal, and Cameron Cruz.
“Dark/Web” is the brainchild of brothers Michael and Tim Nardelli, and Mario Miscione; creators of the cult hit “Circle”, which was purchased for distribution by Netflix last year.
The eight-part anthology series combines a serialized narrative with stand-alone sci-fi/thriller segments that tackle the dangers of a totally connected world. It recently wrapped production and will be shopped to buyers this summer.
