It’s produced by Plan B for Apple Original Films.

‘Obsession’ proved to be a huge, well-deserved breakout role for Inde Navarrette, and she’s now the focus of a new package snapped up by Apple Original Films.

Navarrette will star in new sci-fi thriller ‘The Waffle House Index.’

Scottish filmmaker Louis Paxton, who has directed the big screen likes of ‘The Incomer’ and TV series including ‘Shetland,’ is aboard to oversee the movie, working from Andrew Nunnelly’s (‘Chambers’) script.

While Apple is seemingly keeping most details under wraps, a tantalizing –– if true –– logline did sneak out: a Waffle House waitress whose already bad day gets worse when a stranger with a gun shows up during her night shift.

What happens after involves a mass flood, killer crocodiles, a nuclear explosion, a magical bunker under the Waffle House, and aliens.

Navarette has naturally been in demand since her breakout. Marvel scooped her up to play Rogue in its X-Men movie, which will be in cinemas in May 2028.

She’s also recently worked in roller coaster thriller ‘Invertigo.’
