EXCLUSIVE: Felisha Terrell (The Company You Keep), Jason MacDonald (Welcome to Flatch), and Oscar winner Mira Sorvino (Shining Vale) are set to topline Home Safe, a psychological thriller directed by Jacob Vaughan (Bad Milo) that has wrapped production and will be taken to market this fall.
The indie from Crazy Legs Features centers on Anna (Terrell), the editor-in-chief of a news magazine, and her husband Daniel (MacDonald), the founder of an AI-centered home security company, watching as they’re threatened by a mysterious houseguest as they are expecting their first child. Becoming a threat with her growing sentience is Kiera (Sorvino), an advanced-AI home security system created by Daniel.
Also starring Emily Topper (The Thing About Pam) and Michael Shenefelt (The First Lady), Home Safe was written by Juddy Talt. The film is produced in association with Uncle Easy Productions, with Scott Thigpen, Marie Halliday, and Jessica Fox-Thigpen producing for Crazy Legs Features. Executive producers are Tom Cappello, Ryan Ellison, Don Mandrik, Matt Ornstein, and Frank Schuler.
Said Capello of Crazy Legs Features, “This gripping story challenges our notions of security, privacy, and the evolving role of AI in our lives, making it a thought-provoking, suspenseful film that leaves audiences unsettled. This film brings to life the complexity and real world threat of creating machines that are designed to mimic human behavior.”
Most recently seen starring on series like The Company You Keep, BMF, Dynasty and Queens, Terrell has also appeared in features like The Tomorrow War.
Perhaps best known for a role on Fox’s Welcome to Flatch, MacDonald’s recent film credits include The Man from Toronto and Moonshot.
Best known for roles in films like Mighty Aphrodite and Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion, Sorvino currently stars on Starz’s Shining Vale. She was seen starring over the summer in box office hit Sound of Freedom and also counts amongst her recent projects Impeachment: American Crime Story, along with films like Lamborghini: The Man Behind the Legend and After Ever Happy.
Vaughan previously co-wrote and directed Bad Milo, a horror comedy starring Ken Marino that world premiered at SXSW and was picked up for distribution by Magnet Releasing.
