The 100's Eliza Taylor & Bob Morley Reuniting In New Sci-Fi Movie
The 100 stars Eliza Taylor and Bob Morley will reunite in the upcoming science-fiction thriller I'll Be Watching, which is shooting in Atlanta now.
The 100 stars Eliza Taylor and Bob Morley will be reuniting in a new science-fiction project, I'll Be Watching. The 100 premiered on The CW in 2014 and ran for seven seasons, ending in September 2020. Based on the young adult novel series of the same name by Kass Morgan, the show followed a group of juvenile delinquents who return to earth following a devastating nuclear apocalypse. Also included in the show's massive cast are Devon Bostick, Henry Ian Cusick, Marie Avgeropoulos, Lindsey Morgan, Paige Turco, Richard Harmon, Christopher Larkin, Isaiah Washington, Jarod Joseph, Sachin Sahel, Tasya Teles, Adina Porter, Chelsey Reist, and American Gods' Ricky Whittle.
Eliza Taylor played the show's lead character Clarke Griffin, who is the de facto leader of the group throughout the series. She has an independent spirit and was originally imprisoned because of her father, after threatening to reveal the truth about the failure of the Ark, which carried a colony of humans. Bob Morley played Bellamy Blake, Clarke's co-leader. His primary motivation was to protect his half-sister Octavia, but his character became more and more complicated, leading to some climactic confrontations between himself and Clarke.
Per Deadline, Eliza Taylor and Bob Morley will play opposite one another again in the upcoming sci-fi thriller I'll Be Watching. The film, which is shooting in Atlanta right now, follows a woman (Taylor) who must fight for her life in a high-tech home where she lives with her new husband (Morley). Although the plot synopsis is playing it coy as to whether or not Morley's character is a villain, the film certainly sounds like it's going to feature more friction between the two actors.
I'll Be Watching is being directed by Erik Bernard, who is an executive producer on the popular reality series Hoarders and previously directed the 2020 thriller The Place We Hide. He is working from a script by Sara Sometti Michaels, who has produced TV movie thrillers like Who Is Killing the Cheerleaders? and The Stranger She Brought Home, and Elisa Manzini, who has previously largely worked in short films. The rest of the cast is filled out by David Keith (Daredevil 2003), Bryan Batt (Mad Men), and Hannah Fierman (Siren).
Fans who have missed The 100 since it went off the air will certainly be delighted by this news. The project is looking to be much more grown-up than the series Taylor and Morley cut their teeth on, which will allow them to show off their range in exciting new ways. Once the film gets an official trailer, audiences will know a lot more about the duo's dynamic in I'll Be Watching.
