Kelsey Asbille (“Yellowstone”) and Finn Wittrock (“American Horror Story”) will star in the upcoming horror movie “Don’t Move.” Which will be produced by Sam Raimi’s Raimi Productions, Christian Mercuri’s Capstone Studios, and Alex Lebovici’s Hammerstone Studios.
“Don’t Move” will follow a well-seasoned killer who injects a grieving woman with a paralytic agent. This would be, victim must run, fight, and hide before her body completely shuts down. The new horror thriller is co-directed by Adam Schindler and Brian Netto. The duo previously worked with Raimi on his horror anthology series “50 States of Fright.”
The script is co-written by T.J. Cimfel and David White, who previously wrote the Schindler-directed thriller “Intruders” starring Rory Culkin. Principal photography on “Don’t Move” is planned to start in Europe this June.
This will mark the second collaboration between Raimi Productions, Capstone Studios, and Hammerstone Studios. The trio previously worked together on the action-thriller “Boy Kills World” starring Bill Skarsgård (“IT“), which is in post-production.
“We are beyond thrilled to make this absolute white-knuckle ride of a film with talents such as Kelsey and Finn,” directors Schindler and Netto said. “On top of that, we get to team with the teams at Raimi, Capstone and Hammerstone — companies operating at the top of the genre game. We could not be more excited to get to work.”
And it seems that the production team is just as excited about the announcement. “The fiercely talented Kelsey and Finn have taken starring turns in some of the most beloved suspense-driven projects currently in the market, making the perfect pair to bring this visceral, pulse-racing story to life,” Lebovici added.
The film will be executive produced by Mercuri, Schindler, Netto, David Haring, Ruzanna Kegeyan, Sarah Sarandos, Marc Manus, Petr Jákl, and Ara Keshishian. Capstone Studios is financing “Don’t Move,” with their global branch handling worldwide rights. The company will continue sales at the upcoming Marche du Film in Cannes.
