The psychological thriller explores themes of obsession and corporate warfare among the elite in the Hamptons.
Dylan Sprouse, Barbie Ferreira, and Tanner Buchanan are set to star in the upcoming psychological thriller, The Sleeping Dogs of Southampton, which recently wrapped principal photography. The film is directed by David Lipper and written by Peter James Cooper, and it is being launched at the American Film Market (AFM) by Highland Film Group.
Set against the glamorous backdrop of the Hamptons, the film delves into a dangerous world filled with sex, money, and obsession. Sprouse plays Dorsey Grace, a ruthless Wall Street rainmaker who knows how to close deals and manipulate those around him. His character’s past encounters lead to suspicion and obsession from rising banker Henry Barrett, portrayed by Buchanan, who suspects that Dorsey’s past hookup may have been his wife, Lindsay, played by Ferreira.
The ensemble cast also includes Jack Kilmer, Rainey Qualley, Bianca Ghezzi, and Ethan Cutkowsky, adding depth to the narrative that intertwines corporate warfare with psychological intrigue. As the story unfolds, Henry becomes embroiled in a lethal game of chess, trying to outsmart Dorsey, who always seems to be one step ahead.
Highland Film Group’s CEO, Arianne Fraser, described The Sleeping Dogs of Southampton as an “irresistibly sexy thriller” that captures the dangerous combination of money, power, and desire. The film is positioned to attract a global Gen-Z audience, making it a highly anticipated project at AFM.
With its compelling storyline and a talented cast, The Sleeping Dogs of Southampton promises to be a thrilling addition to the genre, exploring the darker sides of ambition and obsession in a world of wealth.
