Last November, we heard that Saban Films had acquired the distribution rights to director K. Asher Levin’s thriller Dig in multiple territories. Now we know what their release strategy is in the United States: Dig is going receive a VOD and limited theatrical release on September 23rd. Along with the release date announcement comes the unveiling of a trailer, which you can check out in the embed above.
Dig stars Thomas Jane (The Punisher) alongside Harlow Jane (Texas Rising), his daughter with ex-wife Patricia Arquette. It was written by Banipal Ablakhad and Benhur Ablakhad, who crafted the following story:
A widowed father (Thomas Jane) is contracted for home demolition, and when he and his daughter (Harlow Jane) arrive at the construction site they are soon taken hostage by a dangerous couple who will stop at nothing to retrieve what lies beneath the property. The father and daughter must work together to outsmart their captors and survive the grueling night.
Emile Hirsch (Into the Wild) and Liana Liberato (Light as a Feather) play the “dangerous couple”.
Daniel Cummings produced Dig with WLAD’s Rob Goodrich and Jason Armstrong, as well as Buffalo 8 New Mexico’s Robert Dean. Thomas Jane and his Renegade Entertainment partner Courtney Lauren Penn serve as executive producers alongside Film Mode Entertainment’s Clay Epstein; Bondlt Media Capital’s Matthew Helderman, Luke Taylore, and Grady Craig; Jarnell Stokes; David Nagelberg; and Josh Monkrash, Seth Needle, and Conor McAdam of Screen Media.
Saban Films’ Bill Bromiley had this to say about the film:
The father-daughter pairing of Thomas and Harlow Jane is flawless alongside an accomplished actor in Emile Hirsch and up-and-coming star in Liana Liberato. Asher Levin has skillfully created a nail-biting hostage thriller we are excited to share with audiences.”
