Adam Scott and Danielle Deadwyler Starring in Dark Comedy Thriller THE SAVIORS

Adam Scott (Parks and Rec, Severance) and Danielle Deadwyler (Till, Station Eleven) will star in the film The Saviors, a darkly comedic thriller about a suburban couple whose life spirals out of control when they rent their garage to mysterious tenants.

The film is currently in production in Los Angeles. Kevin Hamedani is directing from a script he co-wrote with Travis Betz, which was featured on the 2018 Blacklist.

Matt Smith and Dan Gedman of Highway 10 are financing and will produce. The Saviors marks the first film produced under their new shingle. In addition, Adam Scott and Naomi Scott will produce on behalf of Great Scott Productions, Nicholas Weinstock and Divya D’Souza will produce for Invention Studios, and Bradley Gallo and Michael Helfant will produce for Amasia Entertainment. Deadwyler, Alyssa Roehrenbeck and Josh Sathre will executive produce.

Scott will next be seen in the second season of Apple TV+’s Severance, which he executive produces. That performance earned Scott nominations for an Emmy Award, Screen Actors Guild Award, Golden Globe, Film Independent Spirit Award and a Critics Choice Award.

Scott will also co-host “The Severance Podcast with Ben Stiller and Adam Scott,” which will be a companion to the upcoming second season that he will produce through Great Scott Productions. Additionally, Scott will star in and direct his first feature, Double Booked, alongside Sterling K. Brown, Zazie Beetz, and Alexandra Daddario. He will also produce the film through Great Scott Productions.

Deadwyler is currently earning rave reviews and awards attention for her work in Netflix’s The Piano Lesson. She will next be seen in the thriller Carry-On, premiering on Netflix in December.
