ComingSoon can exclusively reveal a clip from Orion, a new sci-fi thriller mystery movie. The film, which will be released on VOD next month, stars Drew Van Acker, Andrew McCarthy, and more.
Orion comes from Jaco Bouwer, who is best known for his critically acclaimed eco-horror film Gaia. That movie premiered at South by Southwest in 2021, where it won the ZEISS Cinematography Award. In addition to Van Acker and McCarthy, Orion also stars Debby Ryan, known for starring in Shortcomings, The Sun Never Sets, and more.
In addition to the exclusive clip, ComingSoon can also exclusively reveal that Orion will be available on VOD on November 3, 2026. Check out the exclusive Orion clip below (watch more trailers and clips):
What do we see in the new Orion clip?
The exclusive Orion clip previews a trippy sci-fi movie that sees McCarthy play an intense character very different from the roles he’s known for in movies like Pretty in Pink, St. Elmo’s Fire, Weekend at Bernies, and more. The movie centers around an astronaut who returns home after the rest of his crew has been killed; the twist, however, is that there’s no clear explanation as to how this happened.
The synopsis for the movie reads, “After a catastrophic mission leaves his crew dead and his memory shattered, an astronaut returns to Earth with no idea what went wrong. To uncover the truth, he must rely on a space agency interrogator he isn’t sure he can trust. As his fractured memories begin to return, the two race to piece together what happened, uncovering the terrifying truth about what came back with him—and the threat it now poses to Earth.”
The script for Orion was written by Anne Vithayathil. Sunil Perkash, Van Acker, Elle Army, and Scott Army serve as producers on the project.
