Red Hound Films Gets Locked in a High-Tech Car with ‘4×4’ [Cannes]
Blue Fox’s Red Hound Films has acquired North American rights to Mariano Cohn’s (The Distinguished Citizen) Argentinian locked-in-a-car thriller 4×4 as part of a five-film shopping spree, reports Screendaily out of Cannes.
4×4 is the story about a petty thief (Peter Lanzani) who gets trapped inside a high-tech car where nobody can hear his cries for help.
The site says that the film caused a stir as soon as it played as a work in progress at Ventana Sur 2018 and went on to premiere at Fantastic Fest last year.
Red Hound plans to release theatrically in early 2021.
Cohn and co-wrote the screenplay with Gastón Duprat, who served as producer with Axel Kuschevatzky (Underdogs).
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
