Rlje Films, a business unit of AMC Networks, has acquired the North American rights to a thriller starring Maisie Williams, “The Owners,” the distributor announced Thursday.
“The Owners” is the debut film of writer and director Julius Berg, and Rlje Films is expected to release the movie in theaters and on VOD and digital HD in the fall of 2020.
The “Game of Thrones” actress Williams stars in the film as part of a group of friends who think they found the perfect, easy score – an empty house with a safe full of cash. But when the elderly couple that lives there comes home early, the tables are suddenly turned. As a deadly game of cat and mouse ensues, the would-be thieves are left to fight to save themselves from a nightmare they could never have imagined.
