EXCLUSIVE: Inde Navarrette, hot off a breakout movie performance in TIFF horror hit Obsession as well as The CW’s Superman & Lois, has been set to star in Invertigo, the latest thriller from Fall and Obsession producers Capstone and Tea Shop.
Filming is due to begin this month on the fun-sounding movie about “a group of reckless teens who convince a young park worker to sneak them onto a rollercoaster before its debut opening. However a system failure traps them hundreds of feet in the air, forcing them to fight for survival as buried traumas and hidden tensions erupt into chaos”.
Capstone will continue sales on the film at this week’s European Film Market.
Written by Kathy Charles (Love Bomb) and Billy O’Brien (I Am Not a Serial Killer), and directed by Matthias Hoene (Cockneys vs Zombies), producers are James Harris and Mark Lane of Tea Shop, alongside Christian Mercuri of Capstone Pictures, with cinematography by Peter Matjasko (Boy Kills World). Filming is set to take place across Thailand, the U.S., and the UK.
Ascending actress Navarrette stars in upcoming horror Obsession, which Focus bought out of TIFF for around $14M and is lining up for a May release. She is also known for Netflix’s 13 Reasons Why and The CW’s Superman & Lois.
“Invertigo is a film about fear—both the immediate, visceral kind and the deeper fears we carry with us,” explained director Hoene. “Setting the story high above the ground allowed us to push the tension to an extreme, but it’s the emotional pressure between these characters that truly drives the film. Inde brings an incredible intensity and vulnerability to the role, and I’m thrilled to begin this journey with such a talented cast and crew.”
“We are really excited to get Invertigo going and thrilled to be working on a third film with Inde. Her performance in our production Obsession has cemented her as an incredibly exciting emerging talent” added Capstone head, Christian Mercuri.
Navarrette is repped by CAA, Untitled, and Hansen Jacobsen. Hoene is represented by Independent Talent and The Vendetta Group.
