Dark Castle Boards WestEnd’s Thriller ‘Zealot’ Starring Djimon Hounsou and Kodi Smit-McPhee, First Look Revealed (EXCLUSIVE)


The thriller, which was first announced by WestEnd in Cannes, has sold to a number of territories, including France and Germany

Dark Castle Entertainment (“Last Breath,” “Shell,” “Orphan: First Kill”) has come on board to produce and finance “Zealot,” the upcoming claustrophobic thriller starring Djimon Hounsou(“A Quiet Place Part II,” “Blood Diamond”) and Kodi Smit-McPhee(“The Power of the Dog,” “Disclaimer”). Directed by Vadim Perelman (“House of Sand and Fog,” “Persian Lessons”) and written by playwright Bennett Fisher — based on his award-winning play “Damascus” — “Zealot” is a film about privilege, paranoia, and the assumptions we make about one another. The film is produced by Jib Polhemus (“Old Guy,” “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider”), alongside Norman Golightly (“Last Breath,” “Shell”) on behalf of Dark Castle.
