Inde Navarrette lands a thrilling new sci-fi project.

If you caught Obsession, chances are Inde Navarrette has been on your radar ever since.

Curry Barker’s breakout horror flick turned out to be one of the year’s biggest surprises, transforming a seemingly straightforward tale about a young man’s longing for his beloved into a chilling possession thriller. At the heart of it all was Navarrette, whose spine-tingling portrayal of Nikki made the film truly memorable. Since then, fans have been eagerly anticipating her next move. There have been plenty of whispers, including reports of her meetings with directors linked to major projects like Marvel’s upcoming X-Men film and Heat 2. Now, we finally have details on one of her next significant roles.

Navarrette is set to star in The Waffle House Index, a new sci-fi thriller from Apple Original Films, with Plan B Entertainment producing. She’ll also take on the role of executive producer for the film.

Despite its seemingly ordinary title, The Waffle House Index promises to be anything but typical.

The Waffle House Index is an actual measure used informally to gauge the severity of a hurricane’s impact on an area, based on whether a local Waffle House is operating normally, offering a limited menu, or closed entirely. The film takes this concept and spins it into a much stranger narrative.

Navarrette will portray a Waffle House waitress whose already disastrous night spirals further when a gun-wielding stranger enters the restaurant. From there, the story escalates into a wild adventure involving a massive flood, killer crocodiles, a nuclear explosion, a mysterious bunker beneath the Waffle House, and yes, aliens.

For Navarrette, this project marks another intriguing step following Obsession. She also has Invertigo, a thriller about teens trapped on a roller coaster, already in the can, while her rumored involvement with Marvel’s X-Men keeps her schedule packed.

The Waffle House Index is the latest collaboration between Plan B and Apple, with the production company—led by Brad Pitt, Dede Gardner, and Jeremy Kleiner—previously teaming up with Apple on Pitt’s racing drama F1. Plan B has also recently produced the horror film Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma and is gearing up to shoot The Bell Jar, a drama directed by Sarah Polley.

For an actress coming off one of the year’s standout horror hits, The Waffle House Index is certainly an unexpected next chapter. But with killer crocodiles, nuclear explosions, and aliens in the mix, it seems Navarrette has found another delightfully bizarre project to dive into.
