EXCLUSIVE: Riverdale and Hustlers star Lili Reinhart is set to lead mystery thriller American Sweatshop, whose producers include Oscar winner Barry Levinson (Rain Man) and acclaimed American showrunner Tom Fontana (Oz) who will be producing his first feature.
Myriad Pictures will be launching international sales in Cannes after sealing a deal with Baltimore Pictures and Germany-based Elsani & Neary. UTA Independent Film Group is handling North American sales.
In a device driven world, American Sweatshop will take a look at the toll of social media through the eyes of Daisy Moriarty (Reinhart), who while dealing with a chaotic personal life, finds herself sucked into the underbelly of the internet. Moriarty, and a motley group of coworkers, toil in a cottage industry of agencies that evaluate harmful and offensive pictures and videos uploaded to social media. With detached caution and a deranged sense of humor, they examine the millions of posts that get “flagged for review.” But one particularly violent video grabs hold of Daisy, luring her out of this office, away from the safety of her keyboard and into a dangerous world as she obsessively seeks to hold someone accountable.
Emmy nominee Uta Briesewitz, whose credits include Stranger Things, The Wheel Of Time, Westworld and This Is Us, will direct. Producers are Jason Sosnoff (The Survivor), Levinson, Fontana (who is coming off AMC’s Monsieur Spade), and Anita Elsani (55 Steps).
Matthew Nemeth (City On A Hill) wrote the screenplay. Kirk D’Amico, Uta Briesewitz, Matthew Nemeth, Lili Reinhart, Catherine Hagedorn, and Joanna Plasky will serve as executive producers.

The new fame, the lusty fickle kind bred by social media, is at the center of “Wild Diamond,” a startlingly bold and true French drama that premiered today at Cannes.
