Vertical Sets Adam Scott Comedy Thriller ‘The Saviors’ for March 2027 Release

Adam Scott (Hokum) is having himself a run in the horror genre as of late, with Deadline reporting that Vertical has acquired the North American rights for the darkly comedic thriller The Saviors.

Scott stars alongside Danielle Deadwyler (Till) as a suburban couple on the verge of divorce, Sean and Kim.

“To raise the money to fix and sell their house and move on separately with their lives, they rent the guest house to a quiet Middle Eastern brother and sister.

When bizarre occurrences begin to add up – mysterious lights, missing animals, glimpses of unexplainable tech – in the days before the President’s upcoming visit to town, their guests’ strange behavior starts to seem suspicious and potentially dangerous. As Sean and Kim investigate their new tenants, they rediscover the emotional connection they once shared.”

Theo Rossi (Emily the Criminal) and Nazanin Boniadi (The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power) play the brother and sister.

Kate Berlant (Maddie’s Secret), Daveed Diggs (The Boys), Ron Perlman (The Capture), Colleen Camp (Euphoria) and Greg Kinnear (Margo’s Got Money Troubles) also star.

Kevin Hamedani directs from a script he co-wrote with Travis Betz.

Said Hamedani, “It is a dream to share such a deeply personal film as The Saviors with audiences on the big screen, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to partner with Vertical. Their bold slate, fearless approach to storytelling, and passion for championing distinctive films make them the perfect home for our movie and I’m thrilled that audiences will be able to experience it in theaters.”

Producers are Matt Smith and Dan Gedman for Highway 10, Nicholas Weinstock and Divya D’Souza for Invention Studios, Naomi Scott and Adam Scott for Great Scott, and Bradley Gallo and Michael Helfant for Amasia. Executive producers are Danielle Deadwyler, Alyssa Roehrenbeck and Josh Sathre.
