Dylan Sprouse (After We Collided), Barbie Ferreira (Euphoria) and Tanner Buchanan (Cobra Kai) are set to lead the cast of an upcoming psychological thriller, The Sleeping Dogs of Southampton, which promises a dangerous combination of wealth, ambition, betrayal and obsession.
Set against the glamorous backdrop of the Hamptons, the film has recently wrapped principal photography, with Highland Film Group handling international sales ahead of the American Film Market (AFM).
Directed by David Lipper (Neglected) from a screenplay by Peter James Cooper, the project brings together an ensemble cast for a story exploring the darker side of privilege and the wealthy elite.
Sprouse stars as Dorsey Grace, a ruthless Wall Street dealmaker who has built a reputation for getting what he wants, both professionally and personally. Known for his ability to manipulate situations and people, Dorsey finds himself at the centre of an increasingly dangerous confrontation after sharing details about a past romantic encounter.
His story catches the attention of Henry Barrett, played by Buchanan, an ambitious and fiercely competitive banker who begins to suspect that the mystery woman Dorsey describes is actually his wife, Lindsay, portrayed by Ferreira.
What begins as suspicion quickly develops into something far more destructive. As Henry becomes consumed by the possibility of his wife’s infidelity, his desire for answers transforms into an obsession with bringing Dorsey down.
The story unfolds during a seductive summer among Manhattan’s wealthy elite, with extravagant Hamptons estates, lavish pool parties and a world where money and influence offer little protection from personal secrets. As tensions escalate, Henry becomes entangled in a dangerous battle of corporate warfare and psychological manipulation against an opponent who always appears to be one step ahead.
Joining the leading trio are Jack Kilmer (The Nice Guys), Rainey Qualley (Shut In), Bianca Ghezzi (The Idol) and Ethan Cutkowsky (Shameless), rounding out the film’s supporting cast.
Behind the scenes, Lipper and Robert A. Daly Jr. are producing for Latigo Films, alongside Kipp Tribble and Rick Moore. The executive producing team includes Kevin Weisberg, Ryan Adams, Tracey Paul, Andrew Stevens, Sean Krajewski, Andrea Bucko, Manuel Molina, Timothy Alek Mulley and Jeff Kranzdorf.
