First look at Olivia Wilde in the Blumhouse thriller The Lazarus Effect

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

Olivia Wilde isn’t looking her normal, beautiful self in this first image from THE LAZARUS EFFECT, which comes courtesy of EW. Maybe it’s because she’s dead – at least, the character she’s playing is. (Click on the image to see a bigger version.)

The film comes from producer Jason Blum and director David Gelb; it co-stars Mark Duplass, Evan Peters and Donald Glover. The plot revolves around…

a team of research students who discover the secret to bringing subjects back from the dead; however, their actions result in a series of sinister consequences.

If the plot sounds a bit like FLATLINERS, Blum acknowledges the connection. “All of us really liked that movie,” Blum says to EW. “I feel like we’re tipping our hat to Flatliners for sure in this movie.”

THE LAZARUS EFFECT comes out on February 27th.

Ahh. That’s better.
