Adam Scott (Severance) is set to star in and direct his first feature film titled Double Booked, and it sounds like an interesting project.
Sterling K. Brown (American Fiction), Zazie Beetz (Deadpool 2), and Alexandra Daddario (The White Lotus) will join him in the movie.
Double Booked follows “a successful self-help writer (Scott) and his heavily pregnant wife (Beetz) who organize a weekend away at a secluded lodge, only to encounter another couple (Brown and Daddario) at their cabin when they arrive.
“With a blizzard moving in they are forced to spend the night together, and what seems like an innocent system error turns into a chilling battle of deceit with deadly consequences.”
Things are going to get pretty intense with this movie! It seems like a strong project for Scott to jump on board for his first feature directing gig.
Scott said in a statement: “I couldn’t be more excited to be working with Protagonist and Dichotomy to bring this audacious, crowd-pleasing, white knuckle thriller to the screen.
“I’d been looking for something to direct for years, and Double Booked checked all the boxes. Along with our unbelievable cast, I can’t wait to make it and share it with the world.”
The script for the film was written by David Levinson (Welcome Home), and it’s being produced by Adam Goodman (Juror # 2) and Matt Skiena (Juror #2) for Dichotomy Creative Group, and Adam Scott and Naomi Scott for Great Scott Productions.
Protagonist CEO Dave Bishop said in a statement: “Double Booked is a taut, edge of your seat revenge thriller full of twists and turns that ratchets up the tension scene by scene.
“Adam has assembled a truly stellar cast to bring his vision to life and his fresh take on a beloved genre will resonate with audiences around the world. It’s the perfect addition to our Cannes slate.”
Scott currently stars in the hit AppleTV+ series Severance, for which he received an Emmy and Golden Globe nomination. He also starred in the seminal NBC series Parks and Recreation, HBO’s Big Little Lies, and The Good Place.
