Info in Movie News | Joe Keery, who is known from his role in the TV show Stranger Things, is now in a movie called Cold Storage, combining scary and possibly funny in an extraordinary way. A kind of The Last of Us, but with a dark sense of the absurd, and Liam Neeson definitely fit the bill.
According to Variety, the movie is directed by Jonny Campbell (Dracula, Westworld) and written by blockbuster veteran David Koepp, adapting his own novel. Koepp’s the guy behind iconic scripts like Jurassic Park, Mission: Impossible, and Spider-Man (yes, the Tobey Maguire one). This time, he’s also producing, alongside Zombieland and Panic Room producer Gavin Polone.
Keery plays Teacake, a night shift worker at a sketchy self-storage facility built on top of an old military base. Everything goes sideways when a government-sealed parasitic fungus breaks free from the underground and starts melting brains—literally. He teams up with Naomi (played by Barbarian’s Georgina Campbell), and an aging bioterror agent played by none other than Liam Neeson, to stop the infection before it wipes out humanity.
Also in the cast: Sosie Bacon (Smile), Lesley Manville (Phantom Thread), and the legendary Vanessa Redgrave (Mission: Impossible). Solid lineup.
Samuel Goldwyn Films have picked up the North American rights and are going to screen the movie in movie houses later this year. If you are a fan of intelligent, creepy thrillers with a touch of humor, Cold Storage is probably your next go-to movie.
