Plot

Cast

In May 2021, it was reported that Aldis Hodge and his brother Edwin Hodge would write and star in a remake of the 2019 Chinese film Parallel Forest, with Kourosh Ahari set to direct.[2] In June 2022, Danielle Deadwyler signed on to star and to act as the film's executive producer.

Principal photography began in Vancouver later in June 2022.[3]

Release

In April 2023, Vertical Entertainment acquired the film's worldwide distribution rights.[4]

Parallel was released in the United States on February 23, 2024.[5]

Reception

Rachel Leishman from The Mary Sue gave the film a positive review writing: "While the plot of Parallel can get complicated if you think too deeply about it, the film (written by Hodge and his brother and co-star Edwin Hodge alongside Jonathan Keasey) shines in the performances that Deadwyler and Aldis and Edwin Hodge bring to this family. Kourosh Ahari’s simple direction lets us focus on what we want to believe in Vanessa’s quest to make it back to her original timeline."[6]
