The film stars Mason Thames as Finney Blake, Madeleine McGraw as Gwendolyn “Gwen” Blake, Ethan Hawke as The Grabber/Albert Shaw, Jeremy Davies as Terrence Blake, Miguel Cazarez Mora as Robin Arellano, and Rebecca Clarke as Donna. The plot details are kept under wraps.

Produced by Jason Blum, Ryan Turek, Cargill, and Derrickson.
