First Look at TIFF Sales Crime Thriller ‘Wardriver’ Starring Dane DeHaan and Sasha Calle

September 6, 2024


Sasha Calle, Mamoudou Athie and Jeffrey Donovan join Dane DeHaan in crime thriller Wardriver, directed by Rebecca Thomas and written by Daniel. The film is produced by Tim and Trevor White’s Star Thrower Entertainment alongside David M. Wulf, Daniel Casey, DeHaan and Highland Film Group, which is repping international at TIFF. CAA Media Finance has domestic.

Production recently wrapped in Utah.

In the film, tech-savvy thief Cole (DeHaan) exploits his highly specialized skills to commit high-tech robberies from his laptop. When criminal Oscar (Athie) uncovers Cole’s abilities, he forces him to hack the account of the beautiful Sarah (Calle), draining nearly a million dollars. But Cole soon discovers that a powerful, mob-connected lawyer (Donovan) has been using Sarah to hide his money. As Cole falls hard for Sarah, he initiates a plan to replace the stolen money, while protecting her. Ignoring warning signs that something greater is at play, Cole soon finds himself pulled into an elaborate web of lies, deceit and betrayal.

“We have a superb ensemble cast and are delighted that the talented Sasha Calle, Mamoudou Athie and Jeffrey Donovan are teaming up with Dane DeHaan in this elevated genre from the outstanding writer behind the box-office giant F9: The Fast Saga, said Highland Film Group CEO Arianne Fraser.

“Daniel Casey has created a magnificent story, full of suspense and intrigue. And with Rebecca Thomas at the helm, we can’t wait to experience her unique vision on this fantastic project,” added Highland COO Delphine Perrier.

Highland Film Group’s current slate also includes the action crime thriller The Deputy, starring Duke Nicholson, William H. Macy, Tiffany Haddish and Stephen Dorff from Canton Entertainment; Justin Chadwick’s action thriller Sierra Madre starring Kiefer Sutherland; Allan Ungar’s action-comedy London Calling starring Josh Duhamel and Jeremy Ray Taylor, screening at TIFF in the Industry Selects; and Joe Carnahan’s survival thriller Not Without Hope starring Zachary Levi and Duhamel
