Actor-turned-filmmaker Alex Winter (Showbiz Kids) has set the murder mystery The Adults, starring Evan Rachel Wood (Westworld), Josh Gad (Avenue 5) and Anthony Carrigan (Barry), as his next project behind the camera, with plans to also act in the pic.
The film penned by novelist Michael M.B. Galvin — who has previously adapted his own works Fat Kid Rules the World and Freak Talks About Sex for the big screen — follows siblings Megan (Wood) and Nathan (Gad), who are barely hanging on in present-day America, like all of us. Their lives are completely upended when they discover a dead body, long buried in their parent’s basement, sending them down a rabbit hole of crime and murder.
Winter will produce alongside Scott Kroopf of Many Rivers Productions (Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure, Limitless) and Russell Hollander (Intrusion, Valentine’s Day), with Connie Tavel (Confess, Fletch, Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey) serving as exec producer.
CAA Media Finance is arranging finance for the film and will rep its domestic sale, with Rocket Science soon to launch sales in Berlin at EFM 2023.
“I’m thrilled to be working with Evan, Josh and Anthony on this darkly comic crime drama, which takes a sly look at the challenges we all face today, trying to survive in the modern world,” said Winter.
Wood most recently starred opposite Daniel Radcliffe in Roku’s viral hit Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, playing the role of Madonna. She also led HBO’s recent series Westworld, picking up two Emmy noms, a Golden Globe nom, a Critics’ Choice Television Award and other accolades for her portrayal of Dolores Abernathy, the Westworld amusement park android with a mind of her own. The actress is also known for acclaimed performances in the HBO
