Havana Rose Liu recently had her breakthrough role playing the lead in the Hulu thriller No Exit (read our review Here) – which was an okay movie, but underwhelming in comparison to the awesome Taylor Adams novel it was based on. Now Deadline reports that Liu is returning to the thriller realm with a role in in director Chris Weitz’s horror film They Listen. Liu joins a cast that includes the previously announced Katherine Waterston (Alien: Covenant), John Cho (Searching), Lukita Maxwell (Shrinking), and Riki Lindhome (Wednesday). Details on her characters, and in fact on every character in the movie, are being kept under wraps.
They Listen is coming to us from Sony, Blumhouse, and Depth of Field. Weitz is producing the film with Jason Blum and Andrew Miano. Bea Sequeira, Dan Balgoyen, Britta Rowings, and Paul Davis serve as executive producers. Filming was already underway in Los Angeles back in December.

“No Exit” is the kind of compelling thriller that proves to be better with a surprise than a slow burn, despite trafficking heavily in both. Adapted from the novel by Taylor Adams, the Hulu movie tactfully splatters blood all over the classic premise of a few mysterious strangers holed up in a single location. And while its minimalism can make for a mixed bag of surprises, “Killing Ground” director Damien Power ensures that “No Exit” has enough of his own striking signature.

The thriller is a mold that’s well worn, but not necessarily always tried and true. Some miss the mark, not being able to deliver an unpredictable and suspenseful experience. Damien Power’s No Exit may not seem unique when reading its synopsis, but it’s one of the best thrillers in a long time that focuses keenly on making sure its audience will never see what’s coming.
Based on the novel of the same name by Taylor Adams, the film begins at a rehab center where Darby (Havana Rose Liu) is staying. Eleven days sober doesn’t seem like much to celebrate, but it is for someone who possesses disbelief that the system built to help addicts like her doesn’t work. She makes it clear she doesn’t want to be there, creating tension during her support group meetings, but she has nowhere else to go. When...

If you’re thinking, “I’m so so sick of Winter with all the wind, snow, and icy blasts of frigid air! I need a sunny beach!”, then this flick may not be the cinematic escape. Perhaps the dessert backdrop of Death On The Nile may be “just the ticket”. But if you’re in the mood for another “whodunit”, then perhaps this new flick may test your “Poirot aspirations. Ah, but as I mentioned earlier it’s a “chiller” in more ways than one. And a “thriller”. Though it also places us in the main character’s quandry and “moral panic”. This story’s heroine must make a choice whether to risk her life (and put aside a family crisis) to intervene when the uncaring tundra-like landscape offers No Exit.

A mountain rest stop in a blizzard. A group of five strangers. A girl tied up in a van. It's a tantalizing premise for "No Exit," the chilly thriller directed by Damien Power, but then again, a premise can only take a movie so far.
Based on the 2017 novel of the same name by Taylor Adams, "No Exit" may immediately call to mind the Jean-Paul Sartre 1994 philosophical play with which it shares a name thanks to the very basic concept of a bunch of strangers being driven to the brink after being trapped together (which I don't think author Taylor Adams even meant...
