Sasha Luss and Alexis Ren Discuss Their Roles in James Croke’s New Film ‘LATENCY’

Lionsgate’s sci-fi thriller “Latency” hits home video shelves this week, following its successful theatrical run that began on June 14th. The film stars Sasha Luss (“Anna”) and Alexis Ren (“The Enforcer”) and is the directorial debut of James Croke, who also wrote the screenplay.

In “Latency,” Luss takes on the role of Hana, a talented gamer crippled by agoraphobia. When presented with the chance to test a revolutionary new AI-powered gaming system that reads brainwaves, Hana sees a path to overcoming her limitations and reaching the peak of her abilities. However, as she delves deeper into the virtual world with the help of her best friend Jen (Ren), the lines between reality and Hana’s subconscious begin to blur.

Kori Nicole Barnes sat down with Luss and Ren to discuss their experiences filming “Latency” and the challenges and thrills of exploring themes of artificial intelligence, mental health, and the ever-thinning line between the real and the virtual.
