EXCLUSIVE: Felisha Terrell (The Company You Keep), Jason MacDonald (Welcome to Flatch), and Oscar winner Mira Sorvino (Shining Vale) are set to topline Home Safe, a psychological thriller directed by Jacob Vaughan (Bad Milo) that has wrapped production and will be taken to market this fall.

The indie from Crazy Legs Features centers on Anna (Terrell), the editor-in-chief of a news magazine, and her husband Daniel (MacDonald), the founder of an AI-centered home security company, watching as they’re threatened by a mysterious houseguest as they are expecting their first child. Becoming a threat with her growing sentience is Kiera (Sorvino), an advanced-AI home security system created by Daniel.

More from Deadline

Also starring Emily Topper (The Thing About Pam) and Michael Shenefelt (The First Lady), Home Safe was written by Juddy Talt. The film is produced in association with Uncle Easy Productions, with Scott Thigpen, Marie Halliday, and Jessica Fox-Thigpen producing for Crazy Legs Features. Executive producers are Tom Cappello, Ryan Ellison, Don Mandrik, Matt Ornstein, and Frank Schuler.

Said Cappello of Crazy Legs Features, “This gripping story challenges our notions of security, privacy, and the evolving role of AI in our lives, making it a thought-provoking, suspenseful film that leaves audiences unsettled. This film brings to life the complexity and real world threat of creating machines that are designed to mimic human behavior.”

Vaughan previously co-wrote and directed Bad Milo, a horror comedy starring Ken Marino that world premiered at SXSW and was picked up for distribution by Magnet Releasing.

Crazy Legs Features is a division of Crazy Legs Productions, an Atlanta-based full-service content creator best known for its work on reality series like 1000-lb Sisters and Cutler’s Court. The company has expanded of late into narrative, having thus far wrapped production on three features and four feature docs, with other projects to go into production next year.
