Filming is now underway on sci-fi thriller Cold Storage, and Deadline reports today that Sosie Bacon (Smile) has joined a cast that’s led by the previously announced Liam Neeson.
Joe Keery (Stranger Things) and Georgina Campbell (Barbarian) also star, and Deadline additionally reports that Lesley Manville (Phantom Thread) is also in talks to star.
Deadline details, “The darkly comedic sci-fi-action film will chart a deadly micro-organism that will stop at nothing to spread.”
“The film opens several decades ago when a highly infectious, constantly mutating micro-organism – capable of extinction-level destruction – was contained in a military facility. Fast-forward to the present day, the military has sealed the facility’s lowest sub level selling the remaining space to a self-storage company. As temperatures rise underground, the micro-organism finds a way to escape – and if left to spread, it will soon uncontrollably multiply around the world. The fate of humanity rests on a retired bioterror operative and two unlikely heroes employed in the facility – who are caught in a race against time to destroy the organism and save mankind.”
Jonny Campbell (Westworld) is directing Cold Storage, written and being produced by David Koepp (Jurassic Park, Mission Impossible and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny).
Koepp said in a statement, “Cold Storage has everything I’d want to see in a movie — it’s scary, funny, exhilarating, surprising, and riotously entertaining. Gavin, Jonny and I have huge ambitions for this, and are so excited to get cracking with our partners at Studiocanal.”
