Signature Entertainment has acquired U.K. and Ireland rights to horror thriller “Don’t Move” from Capstone Global.
The film follows a seasoned killer as he injects a grieving woman with a paralytic agent. She must run, fight and hide before her body shuts down.
The film is produced by Sam Raimi (“Evil Dead Rise”), Zainab Azizi (“65”) and Alex Lebovici (“Barbarian”) and 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 between Signature Entertainment CEO Marc Goldberg and Capstone Global CEO Christian Mercuri.
“Seeing Adam and Brian’s evolution from working with Sam on his anthology series to mentoring them for their first feature highlighted the pair as horror directors to watch. We’re big fans of horror at Signature and think ‘Don’t Move’ will have U.K. audiences gripped to their seats,” said a statement from Signature Entertainment.
Signature recently acquired U.K. and Ireland rights to revenge thriller “Femme”; Rebel Wilson action comedy “Bride Hard”; Warwick Thornton‘s Australian drama “The New Boy,” produced by Cate Blanchett; and 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.
