Cold Storage: Georgina Campbell joins Liam Neeson, Joe Keery in sci-fi virus thriller

The horror film Barbarian, which stars Georgina Campbell (Krypton), was just given a digital release earlier this week (you can watch it HERE), and social media has been full of positive reactions from viewers. So this was the perfect time for Deadline to break the news that Campbell has joined previously announced stars Liam Neeson (Taken) and Joe Keery (Stranger Things) in the cast of the sci-fi virus action thriller Cold Storage, which Doctor Who and Westworld director Jonny Campbell will be directing from a screenplay David Koepp.

David Koepp has been one of the biggest screenwriters in Hollywood for about thirty years at this point, having worked on such films as Jurassic Park, Mission: Impossible, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, Panic Room, Spider-Man, War of the Worlds, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and The Mummy. Koepp wrote the script for Cold Storage based on his 2019 novel of the same name, which you can pick up at THIS LINK. The film will tell the following story:

Several decades ago, a highly infectious, constantly mutating micro-organism — capable of extinction-level destruction — was contained in a military facility. In the present day, the military has sealed the facility’s lowest sublevel 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 now 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.

Gavin Polone is producing Cold Storage, with Studiocanal’s Shana Eddy Grouf, Ron Halpern, and Aaron Ensweiler overseeing.

Koepp has previously said that Cold Storage will have “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.“
