The cast and first look have been revealed for the upcoming action-thriller Shattered, which is currently in production. The film features a superb cast that includes John Malkovich, Frank Grillo and Lilly Krug.
The synopsis is as follows:
Divorcee Chris Decker is a wealthy venture capitalist who lives in a high-tech house of his own design in Montana, protected physically and emotionally from the outside world. His life changes when he meets Sky, a beautiful, mysterious young woman who draws him out of his shell. Love is in the air … or is it? After Chris is injured in a violent mugging, Sky moves in to take care of him, and her true agenda is soon revealed. Chris has become the victim of an elaborate heist and is suddenly a prisoner in his own home, cut off from help and at the mercy of a violent and psychologically disturbed killer, who intends to take everything from him – including his life. When Chris’s ex-wife and child show up, the stakes are heightened as the deadline to their collective death sentence becomes simultaneously shorter. The only guarantee of survival is to escape.
The film is written by David Loughery (The Intruder, Lakeview Terrace) and directed by Luis Prieto (White Lines, Kidnap, Pusher), and will star Lilly Krug, who has recently completed Swing alongside Michael Shannon, as con-artist Sky. Cameron Monaghan, best known for his role in the long-running hit show Shameless, stars as Chris, the millionaire who falls in love with her.
Rounding out the main cast are Oscar-nominated John Malkovich (The New Pope, Bird Box), as Ronald, a creepy landlord whose curiosity overwhelms him and Frank Grillo (The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard, Avengers; Endgame) as Sebastian, Sky’s violent, manipulative stepfather. Sasha Luss (Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, Anna) plays Chris’s ex-wife Jamie, Ash Santos (Joe Bell, Swing) plays Lisa, Sky’s ill-fated roommate and Ridley Bateman (Shelter In Place) plays Willow, Chris and Jamie’s young step-daughter.
