Woolf + Lapin Acquires Launch Pad Overall Winner DON’T GO THERE – Exclusive
Woolf+Lapin is always on the lookout for an array of bold and especially unique projects. When we read Jeffrey Field’s DON’T GO THERE we were sure we had found a perfect fit. It’s most of all a great read, much like another script of his NO MAN’S LAND, that Oren Uziel (The CLOVERFIELD PARADOX, 22 JUMP STREET) is slated to produce.
DON’T GO THERE is perfectly aligned with what we are looking for: strong artistic merit while keeping overhead low. It’s a contained piece much like a DON’T BREATHE or STRANGERS where the storytelling is quite effective and insanely suspenseful. It totally subverts expectations.
There’s another element that excited us: a very strong, well-written role for a seasoned female actress.
DON’T GO THERE, we believe, stands up to the best in the crop of social thrillers that are making successful (critical and commercial) runs at the box office right now.
