Awake (2021) -- S: Gina Rodriguez, Jennifer Jason Leigh -- Sleep deprivation thriller -- Netflix



https://ew.com/movies/awake-first-lo...ina-rodriguez/

Starring Gina Rodriguez (Jane the Virgin, Annihilation) and directed by Mark Raso (Kodachrome, Copenhagen), Netflix's upcoming thriller Awake follows Jill (Rodriguez) and her two children as they're confronted with an end of the world scenario where the power goes out — no one can connect via technology — and no one can sleep. As Jill struggles to keep herself and her kids alive among a population crazed from sleep deprivation, she realizes she may hold the key to the human race's survival in the form of her pre-teen daughter, who can, indeed, still sleep.



This will be released June 9th.

That seems like an odd curve ball. Technology goes down. Power goes out across the world. Satellites crash to the ground. The world’s IT infrastructure isn’t working. Oh yeah, and no one can go to sleep.

I'm interested. Copenhagen is a cool film.

I always thought something based on the real life Fatal Familial Insomnia would be cool but this doesn't sound like that.

You ever try to sleep when it's 95F and the A/C isn't working?

I did it throughout my entire childhood. I’m not sure how I survived because if I had to do it now I’d definitely be a part of tearing down society, murdering people.

You would have the same exact film if the premise changed to all social media going down. I'd watch that.
