“Stranger Things” breakout Dacre Montgomery is set to lead the cast of upcoming psychological thriller “Moral Capacity” alongside Diane Lane, Tim Robbins, and Sofia Boutella.
Directing the film — being launch in TIFF by Highland Film Group — is Brad Anderson (“The Call, “The Machinist”), working from a script by novelist Peter Moore Smith (“Raveling,” “Los Angeles).
“Moral Capacity” follows James Fisher (Montgomery), a man who has everything to lose — family, reputation, and the perfect life he’s built — until his affair with his business partner Andrea (Boutella) is discovered by her husband Cliff (Robbins).
According to the synopsis, James finds himself caught in a deadly ultimatum: commit murder or watch his world fall apart. As Cliff pulls the strings in this destructive game of blackmail and manipulation, James turns to his therapist, Dr. Torre (Lane), unaware that she harbors even deeper secrets.
Producers on “Moral Capacity” include Mark Amin (“Dead Man’s Wire,” “The Apprentice”) and Cami Winikoff (“Dead Man’s Wire,” “Bleeding Love”) for Sobini Films, and Jamee Natella (“The Last Firefighter,” “Chilly Christmas”) for Blueyed Pictures.
The film is executive produced by Arianne Fraser and Delphine Perrier for Highland Film Group alongside Dave Devries for Sobini Films. Orly Sitowitz serves as the film’s casting director.
Highland Film Group is representing international rights to “Moral Capacity” and launching sales in Toronto.
CAA Media Finance is handling domestic rights. Production is set to begin in the U.K. in early 2026.
