Madelyn Cline To Co-Star Opposite Johnny Depp In Lionsgate’s ‘Day Drinker’
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: Madelyn Cline is the latest star to join Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz in the Lionsgate pic Day Drinker.
Marc Webb is directing the pic. The film is produced by Thunder Road’s Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee, who produce the John Wick franchise for Lionsgate, and Adam Kolbrenner, producer of The Tomorrow War, Free Guy, and Prisoners, and Zach Dean, who also wrote the original spec screenplay. (Kolbrenner and Dean’s film The Gorge, which they produced for Apple TV+/Skydance, will be released next week.) The film is executive produced by 30WEST.
Lionsgate will present Day Drinker in association with 30WEST. The film is a Thunder Road / IN.2 production. In Day Drinker, a cruise ship bartender meets a mysterious day drinker—only for both of them to find themselves entangled in a criminal underbelly, and connected in unexpected ways.
Chelsea Kujawa is overseeing the project for Lionsgate. Dan Freedman negotiated the deals for the studio. The film marks the second recent collaboration between Lionsgate and 30WEST, who are also teaming for Power Ballad, directed by John Carney, written by Carney and Peter McDonald, and starring Paul Rudd and Nick Jonas.
