Sci-Fi Comedy COLD STORAGE to Receive Theatrical Release Later This Year

Samuel Goldwyn Films has acquired rights in NORTH AMERICA to the sci-fi comedy Cold Storage starring Joe Keery (Stranger Things), Georgina Campbell (Barbarian), and Sosie Bacon (Smile), with Vanessa Redgrave (Mission: Impossible), Lesley Manville (Phantom Thread), and Liam Neeson (Taken). The studio will release Cold Storage in theaters nationwide this year.

Jonny Campbell (Dracula) directs from a script written by David Koepp (Jurassic Park, Mission: Impossible, Presence), based on his novel. Zombieland and Panic Room’s Gavin Polone is producing, along with Koepp.

Teacake (Keery) and Naomi (Campbell), two young employees of a self-storage company built on the site of an old US military base, have their wildest night shift ever when a parasitic fungus escapes from the lowest sublevel of the base, where it was sealed by the government decades before. As the temperature rises underground, this highly contagious and rapidly mutating microorganism multiplies and unleashes its brain-controlling, body-bursting terrors on the facility’s inhabitants – human and otherwise.

With time running out, it’s down to Teacake and Naomi, with the help of a grizzled retired bioterror operative (Neeson), to contain the merciless menace and prevent the explosive extinction of Mankind itself.
