Dylan O’Brien is set to star opposite Rachel McAdams in "Send Help", the survival horror thriller from 20th Century Studios that Sam Raimi is producing and directing.
"Send Help" is centered around two colleagues who become stranded on a deserted island, the only survivors of a plane crash. On the island, they must overcome past grievances and work together to survive, but ultimately, it’s a battle of wills and wits to make it out alive.
The movie is based on an original script by Baywatch scribes Damian Shannon and Mark Swift. Zainab Azizi will also produce under the Raimi Productions banner, and the film is expected to nab a theatrical release.
O’Brien is coming off a banner 2024 with a diverse slate of projects. He is one of the stars of Jason Reitman’s acclaimed "Saturday Night," which chronicles the behind-the-scenes drama leading up to the first-ever broadcast of Saturday Night Live.
He received outstanding reviews for his portrayal of a young Dan Aykroyd in the film, which premiered in the U.S. at the Telluride Film Festival and in Canada at the Toronto Film Festival.
O’Brien also starred in Caddo Lake, a thriller from producer M. Night Shyamalan and the writing-directing team of Logan George and Celine Held.
Additionally in 2024, O’Brien had a guest appearance on Julio Torres’ series "Fantasmas", which premiered on Max in June.
In January 2024, O’Brien premiered the film "Ponyboi" in competition at the Sundance Film Festival and won the Grand Jury Award at the NewFest. It will be released later this year.
O’Brien will return to Sundance this year to premiere the film "Twinless", which is in the U.S. Dramatic Competition. He also served as an exec producer on the film.
