You know Adam Scott from “Parks and Recreation,” “Severance,” and dozens of other smart movies and TV shows.
Now he’s going to direct his first feature. “Double Booked” will be a thriller starring Sterling K. Brown, Zazie Beetz, and Alexandra D’Addario.
Protagonist Pictures is taking it to Cannes to the market, my favorite place. That’s where they’ll raise money and find international distribution. The market has zero charm. It’s located under the casino near the marina and has Soviet touches in the architecture. Once you’re inside, the convention atmosphere is broken up by people from all over the world selling movies you or may not see in the future. It’s a lot of fun!
Storyline:
“Double Booked” follows a successful self-help writer (Scott) and his heavily pregnant wife (Beetz) who organize a weekend away at a secluded lodge, only to encounter another couple (Brown and Daddario) at their cabin when they arrive. With a blizzard moving in they are forced to spend the night together, and what seems like an innocent system error turns into a chilling battle of deceit with deadly consequences.
Good luck to them all, and enjoy the Marche! It’s a kick!
