Fresh off a return in last year’s slasher sequel Scream VI, Deadline reports today that Hayden Panettiere will be leading the cast of Lionsgate’s upcoming thriller Amber Alert.
Hayden Panettiere stars alongside Tyler James Williams (Abbott Elementary).
Ambert Alert is actually in post-production at this time, Deadline notes.
In the thriller, “an ordinary ride share becomes a high-stakes game of cat and mouse. The story will follow Jaq (Hayden Panettiere) who is eager to get to her first day at a new job, and her driver, Shane (Tyler James Williams), who is just trying to earn a little extra at his side hustle. An alert of a child abduction on their phones will change all that when they discover they are behind a car that matches the description of the kidnapper’s. Unable to let a possible child trafficker escape, they begin a pursuit that will put their own lives at risk.”
Kerry Bellessa directs the film, written by Kerry Bellessa and Joshua Oram.
Producers are Joseph Restaino and Tony Stopperan through their Hungry Bull Productions banner, Summer and Kerry Bellessa through Bluefields Entertainment, and Leal Naim.
No word yet on a release date. Stay tuned for more.
