Sam Rockwell (Moon) and Maisy Stella (The End of Oak Street) will play an unlikely duo in the mind-bending psychological thriller Tumor.
Deadline has learned that Chris Messina (“Sharp Objects”), Michael Peña (Ant-Man), Esai Morales (Mission: Impossible), and Gigi Zumbado (Heart Eyes) are also starring.
The story centers on a low-level Los Angeles private investigator (Rockwell), who embarks on a mission into the world of L.A.’s young, privileged elite to track down the missing daughter (Stella) of a wealthy businessman (Morales).
Wildly out of his depth and battling the debilitating symptoms of a late-stage brain tumor, his grasp on reality becomes increasingly precarious. As the unlikely duo sets out on the run, old memories blur with the present, dredging up dark secrets from his past.
William Bridges (All of You) writes and directs, based on the graphic novel from writer Joshua Hale Fialkov and artist Noel Tuazon.
Stay Gold Features’ Daniela Taplin Lundberg and Delirio Films’ Christopher Leggett are producing. Executive producers include Aaron Ryder & Andrew Swett of Ryder Picture Company, Vanessa Mendal of Stay Gold, Rafael Marmor of Delirio, Eddie Rubin, and MJ Anderson of 1846 Studios.
Tumor recently wrapped production in Los Angeles. UTA and WME are co-repping US sales with AGC handling rights in the rest of the world.
