Connor Storrie is one of the biggest names in Hollywood currently. After the success of Heated Rivalry, both Storrie and his co-star, Hudson Williams, have been talked about as some of the biggest and brightest new stars to hire. Now, Storrie’s latest film, April X, has him in a completely different kind of role. Directed by Michel K. Parandi, who also co-wrote the film with Jack Coulton, April X is about a young man trying to find his twin sister (Lilly Krug). Today, Collider is thrilled to bring you an exclusive new sneak peek from the film.
Storrie as an action star is a change of pace from what we’ve seen of him in Heated Rivalry. He’s not a hockey player trying to deal with his love life this time around. April X is described as follows: “When his twin sister April (Krug) goes missing, Bax (Storrie) searches every corner of their futuristic, post-Soviet cityscape to find her, ultimately descending into madness.”
In our exclusive sneak, Bax is kneeling on the ground as two men are asking him for the money he’s owed. While they are threatening his life, Bax only cares about his sister. He’s begging them to let his sister go, and it takes his constant pleas for the two men to finally realize that he thinks they have his sister with them. Once they tell Bax that she’s not with them, the scene ends as Bax is covered in gasoline and still frantically trying to find where his sister is being kept from him, but given the trailer for April X, she might be perfectly fine on her own.

Collider Exclusive · Sci-Fi Survival Quiz Which Sci-Fi World Would You Survive? The Matrix · Mad Max · Blade Runner · Dune · Star Wars
Five universes. Five completely different ways the future went wrong — or sideways, or up in flames. Only one of them is the world your instincts were built for. Eight questions will figure out which dystopia, galaxy, or desert wasteland you’d actually make it out of alive.

🔥Mad Max

🚀Star Wars

01
You sense something is deeply wrong with the world around you. What do you do? The first instinct is often the truest one.

02
In a world of scarcity, what resource do you guard most fiercely? What we protect reveals what we believe survival actually requires.

03
What kind of threat keeps you up at night? Fear is useful data — if you’re honest about what you’re actually afraid of.

04
How do you deal with authority you don’t trust? Every dystopia has a power structure. Your approach to it determines everything.

05
Which environment could you actually endure long-term? Survival isn’t just tactical — it’s physical, psychological, and very much about where you are.

06
Who do you want in your corner when things fall apart? The company you keep is the clearest signal of who you actually are.

07
Where do you draw the line — if you draw one at all? Every survivor eventually faces a moment that tests what they’re actually made of.

08
What would actually make survival worth it? Staying alive is one thing. Having a reason to is another.

Your Fate Has Been Calculated You’d Survive In…
Your answers point to the world your instincts were built for. This is the universe your temperament, your survival instincts, and your particular brand of stubbornness were made for.

The Resistance, Zion
The Matrix
You took the red pill a long time ago — probably before anyone offered it to you. You’re a systems thinker who can’t help but notice the seams in things.
Advertisement
You’re drawn to understanding how the system works before figuring out how to break it.
You’d find the Resistance, or it would find you — your instinct for spotting constructed realities is the machines’ worst nightmare.
You function best when you have access to information and the freedom to act on it.
The Matrix built an airtight prison. You’d be the one probing the walls for the door.
The Wasteland
Mad Max
The wasteland doesn’t reward the clever or the well-connected — it rewards those who are hard to kill and harder to break. That’s you.
Advertisement
You don’t need comfort, community, or a cause larger than the next horizon.
You need a vehicle, a clear threat, and enough fuel to outrun it — and you’re good at all three.
You are unsentimental enough to survive that world, and decent enough — just barely — to be something more than another raider.
In the wasteland, that distinction is everything.
Los Angeles, 2049
Blade Runner
You’d survive here because you know how to exist in moral grey areas without losing yourself completely.
Advertisement
You read people accurately, keep your circle small, and ask the questions others prefer not to answer.
In a city where humanity is a legal designation rather than a feeling, you hold onto something that keeps you functional.
You’re not a hero. But you’re not lost, either.
In Blade Runner’s world, that distinction is everything.
Arrakis
Dune
Arrakis is the most hostile environment in the known universe — and you are precisely the kind of person it rewards.
Advertisement
Patience, discipline, and political awareness are your core strengths — and on Arrakis, they’re survival tools.
You understand that the long game matters more than any single victory.
Others come to Dune and are consumed by it. You’d learn its logic and earn its respect.
In time, you wouldn’t just survive Arrakis — you’d begin to reshape it.
A Galaxy Far, Far Away
Star Wars
The galaxy far, far away is vast, loud, and in a constant state of violent political upheaval — and you wouldn’t have it any other way.
Advertisement
You find meaning in being part of something larger than yourself — a cause, a crew, a rebellion.
You’d gravitate toward the Rebellion, or the fringes, or whatever pocket of the galaxy still believes the Empire’s grip can be broken.
You fight — not because you have to, but because standing aside isn’t something you’re capable of.
In Star Wars, that willingness is what makes all the difference.

Connor Storrie Is the Talk of the Town
After the success of Heated Rivalry, Storrie and Williams became two of the most sought-after actors working today. Williams already has Yaga on AMC and AMC+ in the pipeline, and the two have had plenty of brand deals pop up thanks to the success of the Crave/HBO series. April X is one of the first big projects fans can see Storrie in, outside of his own short films, since his stint on Saturday Night Live. And it is a very different role from the beloved Ilya Rozanov. So until you can see Rozanov and Hollander together again, why not watch Storrie star in April X? The sci-fi thriller will be in theaters on September 18.
