Kiernan Shipka, Mckenna Grace Team Up for Thriller "The Nowhere Game"

Kiernan Shipka and Mckenna Grace have signed on to star in Picturestart's survival thriller "The Nowhere Game".

David Charbonier and Justin Douglas Powell (The Djinn) will direct off a script by Alex Pototsky, which made the 2023 Black List. 

WME Independent and UTA Independent Film Group will co-rep domestic rights, with WME Independent handling international.

"The Nowhere Game" follows Carin (Grace) and Allie (Shipka), whose road trip takes a harrowing turn when the two young women are kidnapped by a cold-blooded sadist and thrust into a brutal game of survival. 

The movie's official synopsis reads: "With a short head start, Carin and Allie will be set loose in the forest with limited supplies while being hunted in front of an online audience watching in grim fascination. With no sign of civilization and no way to call for help, the women rely on their wits and each other to evade capture. Navigating the hostile wilderness, they discover eerie clues left behind by previous “contestants,” painting a grim picture of the stakes they face. As the hunter closes in, realization dawns on them: surviving isn’t just improbable — it’s nearly impossible. Carin and Allie must shed their fear and transform from prey to predator to bring this twisted game to its final, bloody conclusion."

Recently working with Picturestart on the rom-com "Sweethearts", which wound up at Max, Shipka is also coming off of performances in "Twisters", "Longlegs", and the acclaimed indie drama "The Last Showgirl" opposite Pamela Anderson.

Soon to be seen in "Scream 7", Grace was last seen starring in "Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire".
