ViacomCBS Global Distribution Group has picked up the worldwide rights to director L. Gustavo Cooper‘s thriller Crawlspace, and to mark the occasion they have released four first look images from the film online. You can check out those images below and get a preview of the bad situation the lead character, played by Henry Thomas (Midnight Mass), has to endure in this story.
Scripted by Jacob D. Wehrman, Crawlspace centers on
a family man who must fight for survival when he finds himself trapped in the crawlspace of a remote Oregon cabin, where ruthless poachers have stashed their fortune.
Thomas is joined in the cast by Jennifer Robertson (Schitt’s Creek), Olivia Taylor Dudley (The Magicians), Bradley Stryker (Let Him Go), Catherine Lough Haggquist (Fifty Shades of Grey) and C. Ernst Harth (To All the Boys: Always and Forever).
Crawlspace was produced by Steven Paul and Scott Karol of SP Media Group, with Wonder Street Entertainment’s Alejandro Brugues, Mark Holder, Christine Holder, and Andrew Wilson executive producing.
Cooper, who was a professional skateboarder and discovered his passion for filmmaking while shooting skate videos, had this to say about Crawlspace:
From the beginning, I saw the movie as fun action/thriller. I couldn’t help but think of my father. I spent summers working under houses in crawlspaces with my Dad who did termite restoration and I loved the idea of this movie being set in that space. For me, this movie is about a good guy having the worst day of his life. All he wants to do is get home to his wife and kid to make things right. He’s you, he’s me, he’s everyman.”
The executive producers said they “were on the edge of our seats” when they first read the script, and “can’t wait for audiences to experience Gustavo’s vision in theaters”.
We’ll let you know when the release plans are announced. In the meantime, here are the first images from Crawlspace, courtesy of Deadline:
