Here’s How You Know Sasha Luss And Alexis Ren, The Stars Of "Latency"

The mind-bending thriller sci-fi film Latency comes to select theaters June 14, and you might recognize some familiar faces in the (frankly, quite terrifying) trailer.

That's because the film follows Hana, a pro-gamer played by Sasha Luss, and her BFF Jen, played by Alexis Ren.

There aren’t really any other characters as Hana has agoraphobia and most of the movie takes place within her apartment.

Here's what we know about the film so far: Hana is testing out a new state-of-the-art gaming device, and Jen, a truly good friend, is supporting her as things start to get super, mind-bendingly weird.

Of course, you probably remember Sasha Luss from the 2019 action-thriller, Anna.

Before she skyrocketed to fame from that role, Sasha, who was born in Russia, already had an established career as a fashion model.

You also might have seen her in Sheroes, the super-fun action thriller comedy that came out last year.

What about Alexis Ren? If you haven’t seen her on TikTok or leading ab workouts on YouTube are you even online?

Alexis also started her career as a model, and in 2022 she made her feature film debut in the noir thriller The Enforcer.

Or maybe you recognize Alexis from Ed Sheeran’s music video for “South of the Border,” or Kygo’s “Not Ok”.

We’re loving Alexis and Sasha as gamer besties in Latency. But every friendship has a dark side and this is obviously a thriller movie, so let's see if they're still dancing by the end of it.
