Signature Entertainment has acquired the UK and Ireland rights to the horror thriller “Don’t Move” from Capstone Global.
The film follows an expert killer who injects a grieving woman with a paralytic. She must run, fight and hide before her body shuts down.
Produced by Sam Raimi (“Evil Dead Rise”), Zainab Azizi (“65”) and Alex Lebovici (“Barbarian”), the film is directed by Adam Schindler and Brian Netto (Raimi’s horror anthology series “50 States of Fright”) from a script by T.J. Cimfel and David White (“There’s Something Wrong With the Children”). It stars Kelsey Asbille (“Yellowstone,” “Fargo,” “Wind River”) and Finn Wittrock (“American Horror Story,” “The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story”, “Ratched”).
The deal was negotiated by Signature Entertainment CEO Marc Goldberg and Capstone Global CEO Christian Mercuri.
“Watching Adam and Brian’s development from working with Sam on his anthology series to mentoring them on their first feature film has highlighted them as horror directors to watch. We’re big fans of horror at Signature and think ‘Don’t Move’ will keep UK audiences on the edge of their seats,” said a statement from Signature Entertainment.
Signature recently acquired UK and Irish rights to the revenge thriller ‘Femme’, the Rebel Wilson action comedy ‘Bride Hard’, Warwick Thornton’s Australian drama ‘The New Boy’, produced by Cate Blanchett, and the Emma Roberts and Laurence Fishburne sci-fi thriller ‘The Astronaut’.
Wittrock’s current projects include Ava DuVernay’s Netflix pic “Origin”, which played at the Venice and Toronto festivals, Hamish Linklater and Lily Rabe’s “Downtown Owl”, which bowed at the Tribeca Festival, and “Free Radicals” with Isabelle Huppert.
