EXCLUSIVE: Lizzy Greene (A Million Little Things) is set to star in and executive-produce High Tide, a survival thriller that strands a group of friends on a swiftly submerging tidal island deep in the Pacific, where they are soon hunted by the ocean’s greatest predator.
Greene will play Hannah who, mourning the death of her sister, takes off around the world. Her journey leads her to Fiji and on a tour of an isolated atoll – a volcanic island that disappears with each high tide. But when the group are stranded, the rapidly rising ocean begins to reveal its terrifying inhabitants.
Having led five seasons of ABC’s popular drama A Million Little Things, Greene is next set to star in Netflix’s upcoming series Ransom Canyon, which is currently in production, across from Josh Duhamel, Minka Kelly and James Brolin.
High Tide, which is due to launch production this fall in South East Asia, marks the feature debut of director David Straiton, a TV veteran of shows series including Narcos, The Originals, Hemlock Grove and Shooter. Script comes from Erik Patterson and Jessica Scott (Abandoned). Scott Einbinder (Killer Joe) produces for 5X Media together with Matt Bierman (Deep Blue Sea franchise).
Architect has launched worldwide sales ahead of Cannes, and is co-representing North American rights with 5X Media.
Crew includes cinematographer Aron Levy (Snowpiercer), production designer Andrew Orlando (Halo) and special effects impresario Todd Masters (Dune).
5X Media’s expansion this year comes under the direction of former Keshet International CEO Alon Shtruzman (La Brea) and former Bunim/Murray Productions CEO Gil Goldschein (Keeping Up with the Kardashians). They now serve as co-CEOs and equity partners in 5X with Einbinder,
