Chris Peckover’s Australia-set thriller Safe Neighborhood is being described as “Scream meets Home Alone,” and ahead of its 2016 shoot, the first casting news has just come across our desk. Levi Miller, the star of Pan, will be joining Olivia DeJonge (The Visit) in the film. Read on!
Per Screen Daily, the home invasion thriller is about a babysitting gig that takes a terrifying turn. Miller will play a 12-year-old boy with a devious side, with DeJonge as a babysitter battling to protect her young charge in a home invasion with a surprising twist.
The film, which Peckover (Undocumented) co-wrote with Zack Kahn, is due to shoot in Australia in January 2016. Brett Thornquest of Australian Storm Vision Entertainment is producing alongside Los Angeles-based Best Medicine Productions.
“Chris and Zack have written a killer script, and this film will be equally smart and stylish, scary, and tense – a sure-fire white-knuckle ride that pushes the thriller genre in a whole new terrifying direction,” said Thornquest.
XYZ Films is representing North American rights, and Paris-based Versatile is handling international sales. They will be looking for pre-sales at the AFM.
