Deadline confirmed today that Outer Banks actress Madelyn Cline is the latest star to join Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz in Lionsgate’s Day Drinker pic. Marc Webb is directing.
The film is produced by Thunder Road’s Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee, who produce the John Wick franchise for Lionsgate, and Adam Kolbrenner, producer of The Tomorrow War, Free Guy and Prisoners, and Zach Dean, who also wrote the original screenplay. (Kolbrenner and Dean’s film The Gorge, which they produced for Apple TV+/Skydance, is set for release next week.)
The film is executive produced by 30WEST. Lionsgate will present Day Drinker in association with 30WEST. The film is a Thunder Road/IN.2 production.
In Day Drinker, a cruise ship bartender meets a mysterious day drinker—only for both to find themselves entangled in a criminal underbelly and connected in unexpected ways.
Chelsea Kujawa is overseeing the project for Lionsgate. Dan Freedman negotiated the deals for the studio.
