Warner Bros. has officially enlisted (The Favourite), (Game of Thrones), Ben Chaplin (September 5), Naledi Murray (Sweet Tooth), and Sebastian Orozco (The Crow) to join the cast for the upcoming paranoid thriller movie. The project hails from Mr. Robot creator Sam Esmail.
Alywn was most recently seen in A24’s The Brutalist movie, which just received ten Oscar nominations including for Best Picture and Best Actor for Adrien Brody. Alywn is currently attached to star in Chloé Zhao’s upcoming biographical period drama Hamnet alongside Emily Watson, Jessie Buckley, and Paul Mescal. Meanwhile, Gillen most recently starred in the action comedy movie London Calling, which was led by Josh Duhamel. He will next be seen in the World War II thriller The Duel.
Besides Henry, Panic Carefully will be led by Oscar winner Julia Roberts, Elizabeth Olsen (WandaVision), Eddie Redmayne (The Day of the Jackal), and Brian Tyree Henry (Bullet Train). Further details about their characters are still being kept under wraps. The film will be written and directed by Esmail. The project will reportedly center around the hunt for a cyber-terrorist. It is also being described as a paranoid thriller with tonal influences from 1991’s Silence of the Lambs.
This reunites Roberts with Esmail after previously working together in Netflix’s apocalyptic drama movie Leave the World Behind. Warner Bros. won the rights to the project after an intense bidding war. The film is produced by Esmail, Chad Hamilton, Scott Stuber, Roberts, Marisa Yeres Gill, and Lisa Gillan, with Kevin McCormick and Chrystal Li tap to oversee the movie on behalf of the studio.
