Brian Tyree Henry In Final Negotiations To Join Sam Esmail’s ‘Panic Carefully’
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: Brian Tyree Henry is in final negotiations to join Julia Roberts, Elizabeth Olsen, and Eddie Redmayne in Panic Carefully, writer-director Sam Esmail’s new paranoid thriller for Warner Bros.
Character details are under wraps, as is the logline. The film is said to be in the vein of Esmail’s Mr. Robot and The Silence of the Lambs and involves the hunt for a cyber terrorist.
Warner Bros won the project in a bidding war earlier this year, in part due to its commitment to a theatrical run. Pic reunites Esmail with Roberts following Leave the World Behind, their apocalyptic thriller, which stands as Netflix’s fifth most popular English-language film of all time.
Producers include Esmail and Chad Hamilton for Email Corp., along with Scott Stuber, Roberts, Marisa Yeres Gill, and Lisa Gillan.
