“The Newsroom” and Jonah Hex‘s John Gallagher Jr., pictured above, has joined Mary Elizabeth Winstead (Faults, The Thing) and John Goodman (Red State) in Paramount Insurge and Bad Robot’s The Cellar, reports Variety.
Dan Trachtenberg will direct, with J.J. Abrams producing for Bad Robot.
“The majority of the movie takes place in an underground cellar and revolves around a young woman who wakes up after a severe car accident and fears she has been abducted. Her captor, a doomsday prepper, tells her he saved her life and that there has been a terrible chemical attack that has left the outside uninhabitable. As tensions rise, she decides she must escape regardless of the terrors that await outside.”
Dan Casey wrote the most recent version of the script. Josh Campbell and Matthew Stuecken penned the original draft.
