Frank Grillo, best known for his role in The Purge: Anarchy and the upcoming The Purge: Election Year and Beyond Skyline, will star in Wolf in the Wild for Awesomeness Films, Variety reports out of Cannes.
“The film centers on a young man who is taken in by his best friend’s family after his grandmother dies. Life initially seems idyllic, until he stumbles upon proof that his adopted father may be a violent criminal.”
Tonally, the film is meant to be a mixture of Disturbia and Rear Window.
“I’m excited to be working with Awesomeness on a script that is a throwback to suspense thrillers I love,” said Grillo.
Claire Holt (“The Vampire Diaries”) will co-star. Greg Plotkin (Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension) is on board to direct from a screenplay by Mark Mavrothalasitis and Will Frank. Awesomeness chief Brian Robbins and Awesomeness Films head Matt Kaplan are producing.
