Zodiac Features announced today Academy Award winner Helen Hunt will star in the Devon Graye penned horror-thriller film, I See You to be directed by Adam Randall (iBoy).  Matt Waldeck will produce for Zodiac Features, and Ben Hecht will executive produce for Zodiac, alongside Hilary Davis, Stephen Kelliher and Patrick Howson for Bankside Films, and Phil Hunt and Compton Ross for Head Gear Films.  CAA will co-represent domestic sales with Bankside Films, who are also representing international.  The film will shoot in Cleveland, OH late this summer. 
 
Infidelity has put great strain on the Harper household as Greg, the lead investigator in a child abduction case which has brought into the spotlight a similar case from years past, struggles to find a way to forgive his well-heeled wife, Jackie (Hunt).  As Jackie’s guilt slowly gnaws away at her grip on reality, a malicious presence begins manifesting itself in their home, putting their young son Connor in mortal danger.  An unexpected change in perspective reveals a ghost from the past, and the cold hard truth about the real evil in the Harper household is finally uncovered.
 
Stephen Kelliher of Bankside Films said, “I SEE YOU is a terrifying, concept-driven genre piece that will satisfy audiences in the way that DON’T BREATHE and GET OUT have done, and we are thrilled be working with Helen Hunt and the folks at Zodiac Features on it.”
 
Academy Award winning actress Helen Hunt will next be seen in Candy Jar with Christina Hendricks and Live Like Line with Erin Moriarty. Hunt is represented by CAA.
 
Adam Randall most recently co-wrote and directed the subversive and grounded superhero movie, iBOY, for Netflix, which was produced by Gail Mutrux, Wigwam Films & XYZ.  He is represented by Casarotto & Associates, Management 360 and CAA.  
 
Producer Matt Waldeck is the co-founder and CEO of Zodiac Features.  Formerly a creative executive for Low Spark Films, Waldeck was involved in films including The Kings of Summer and The Signal.

About Zodiac Features
