EXCLUSIVE: Erin Moriarty (The Boys), Jai Courtney (Suicide Squad), Dina Shihabi (Archive 81) and Ryan Corr (House of the Dragon) have signed on to star in Catching Dust—an upcoming Texas noir marking the feature debut of writer-director Stuart Gatt, which will enter production in the Canary Islands this month.
The drama is set in the isolation of Texas’ Big Bend, where a lone trailer on an abandoned commune has become the reluctant hideout for Geena (Moriarty), at the behest of her criminal husband, Clyde (Courtney). Geena’s lust for life and desire for interaction with the outside world are quashed by Clyde’s insistence they remain hidden from the law and his former cohorts looking to settle old scores. Exhausted by Clyde’s controlling ways, Geena decides to leave. But then a trailer arrives carrying Amaya (Shihabi) and Andy (Corr), a couple from New York seeking a respite from the city. Ignoring the risks their presence will bring, Geena convinces Clyde to let them stay—a decision that will have dangerous consequences for them all.
Gatt will produce Catching Dust alongside Mark David (The Dead Sea), Jon Katz (Paterno, The Man Who Knew Infinity) and Edward R. Pressman (American Psycho, Wall Street). The feature marks the second collaboration between David and Gatt following their award-winning short, The Dead Sea. It will also be the first produced under Katz’s newly-launched Civilian 7 Entertainment banner. Sebastián Álvarez of Canary Islands’ Volcano Films will exec produce, with UTA handling domestic sales.
“I am so proud to be part of the team bringing Stuart Gatt’s singular vision to the screen and we are excited to be working with this terrific cast,” said Katz. “Catching Dust was one of the most exciting scripts
