  • It is filming right now in West Virginia.

We just saw some news that made us look twice at our phones. A new movie called Disconnected is on the way. It stars Kayla Ewell from The Vampire Diaries and Brian Dietzen from NCIS.

The story is intense. It shows how tech-driven deepfakes can turn simple school photos into scary weapons. It is all about cyberbullying and how we are addicted to our screens. Scary stuff.

The movie is being filmed in West Virginia. We can already imagine the aesthetic. Think misty green mountains mixed with the cold blue glow of a smartphone. It’s a total vibe.

There is also a cool connection to Everybody Still Hates Chris. Three actors from that show are joining the cast too. This team is honestly stacked. We can’t wait to see them together.

While we wait for a trailer, you should see how Tara Sutaria and Yash are heating up their new teaser. Or, if you want something totally random, read about Canada heading to Eurovision.

Our Take

We think this movie is coming at the perfect time. AI is everywhere lately. It can be great for things like Ilaiyaraaja’s music, but it can also be used for mean things. This film might finally show everyone how much damage a fake photo can do.
