Sci-Fi Thriller ‘Cold Storage’ Starring Joe Keery & Georgina Campbell Acquired by Samuel Goldwyn Films

Samuel Goldwyn Films has acquired the North American rights to Studiocanal’s comedic sci-fi thriller Cold Storage. Variety unveiled the first look above.

Joe Keery (“Stranger Things”), Georgina Campbell (Barbarian), Liam Neeson (Taken), Sosie Bacon (Smile), Vanessa Redgrave (Mission: Impossible), and Lesley Manville (Phantom Thread) star.

The film follows Teacake (Keery) and Naomi (Campbell), two employees at a self-storage facility built atop a former military base, whose night shift transforms into a nightmare when a government-sealed parasitic fungus escapes from the underground levels.

As temperatures rise, the microorganism unleashes its brain-controlling, body-bursting mayhem on anything in its path. The duo must join forces with a weathered bioterror operative (Neeson) to contain the threat before it triggers humanity’s extinction.

Jonny Campbell (“Dracula,” “Westworld”) directs from a script by David Koepp (Jurassic Park, Mission: Impossible), based on his 2019 novel of the same name. Koepp produces alongside Gavin Polone (Zombieland, Panic Room).

“We’re happy to continue our relationship with Studiocanal and excited to be handling this thrilling movie from David Koepp, Jonny Campbell, and Gavin Polone,” said Samuel Goldwyn president Peter Goldwyn and CEO Ben Feingold in a statement.

Samuel Goldwyn Films plans a nationwide theatrical release for Cold Storage later this year.
