Paul Wesley to produce, star in 'Convergence'

The Vampire Diaries Paul Wesley will star in and produce sci-fi action film ‘Convergence.’ Little is known about the plot at this time, but the film is said to follow a group of underground biotech engineers who experiment with a new technology that exceeds their expectations. Jeff Richard wrote the script.

Paul said, “My first couple of hiatuses I was looking for indies to separate me from the younger material. Now I’m looking for flawed characters, because my (Vampire Diaries) character is very heroic. My character in Convergence is not the protagonist but is the guy who pushes things a little too far, and too hard, and produces some scary results.” Filming is planned for next spring in Shanghai and Atlanta.
