Dylan Sprouse, Barbie Ferreira and Tanner Buchanan are heading to the Hamptons together for “The Sleeping Dogs of Southampton,” a psychological thriller set inside a “dangerous world of sex, money and obsession,” according
to the description.
Directed by David Lipper (“Neglected”) and written by Peter James Cooper, the “The Sleeping Dogs of Southampton” is heading to the American Film Market, where Highland Film Group is launching worldwide sales. Principal photography recently wrapped.
Alongside Sprouse (“Beautiful Disaster”), Ferreira (“Euphoria”) and Buchanan (“Cobra Kai”), the film will also star Jack Kilmer (“The Nice Guys”), Rainey Qualley (“Shut In”), Bianca Ghezzi (“The Idol”) and Ethan Cutkowsky (“Shameless”).
In “The Sleeping Dogs of Southampton,” as per the synopsis, ruthless Wall Street rainmaker Dorsey Grace (Sprouse) knows how to close a deal — and get inside your head. Over scotch with business associates, he brags about a wild past hookup, leading rising and hyper-competitive banker Henry Barrett (Buchanan) to suspect the unnamed woman was his wife, Lindsay (Ferreira). Over a seductive summer among Manhattan’s moneyed elite (Qualley, Kilmer, Ghezzi), their sprawling estates and lavish pool parties of the Hamptons, suspicion turns to obsession. Drawn into a world of sex, money and carefully guarded secrets, Henry becomes locked in a lethal game of corporate warfare and psychological chess as he seeks to destroy a man who always seems one move ahead.
The thriller is produced by Lipper and Robert A. Daly Jr. of Latigo Films (“The Fix,” “Not Without Hope”), Kipp Tribble (“Before Never,” “Neglected”) and Rick Moore (“Neglected,” “The Deputy”). Executive producers are Kevin Weisberg, Ryan Adams, Tracey Paul, Andrew Stevens, Sean Krajewski, Andrea Bucko, Manuel Molina, Timothy Alek Mulley and Jeff Kranzdorf.
“’The Sleeping Dogs of Southampton’ is an irresistibly sexy thriller that takes audiences into a glamorous world where money, power and desire become a dangerous combination,” said Highland Film Group CEO Arianne Fraser.
“With Dylan Sprouse, Barbie Ferreira and Tanner Buchanan leading an exciting ensemble cast, the movie is perfectly positioned to attract the global Gen-Z audience. This is such a fun project, and we look forward to introducing the movie to our buyers at AFM,” added company COO Delphine Perrier.
