Inde Navarrette (Obsession, “Superman & Lois”) will star in Invertigo, a survival thriller from Fall and Obsession producers Capstone Pictures and Tea Shop, Deadline has learned.
It follows a group of reckless teens who convince a young park worker to sneak them onto a roller coaster before its debut opening. A system failure traps them hundreds of feet in the air, forcing them to fight for survival as buried traumas and hidden tensions erupt into chaos.
Matthias Hoene (Cockneys vs Zombies) will direct from a script by Kathy Charles (Jakob’s Wife) and Billy O’Brien (I Am Not a Serial Killer).
Filming is due to begin this month, with production set to take place across Thailand, the US, and the UK.
Producers include James Harris and Mark Lane of Tea Shop as well as Christian Mercuri of Capstone Pictures.
“Invertigo is a film about fear — both the immediate, visceral kind and the deeper fears we carry with us,” explained Hoene. “Setting the story high above the ground allowed us to push the tension to an extreme, but it’s the emotional pressure between these characters that truly drives the film. Inde brings an incredible intensity and vulnerability to the role, and I’m thrilled to begin this journey with such a talented cast and crew.”
“We are really excited to get Invertigo going and thrilled to be working on a third film with Inde,” added Mercuri. “Her performance in our production Obsession has cemented her as an incredibly exciting emerging talent.”
Capstone will continue sales on Invertigo at this week’s European Film Market in Berlin.
