Daina Reid’s Elisabeth Moss-Starrer “Run Rabbit Run” Goes to STX

Moss in "The Invisible Man"

Hot off rave reviews and box office success with “The Invisible Man,” Elisabeth Moss has secured worldwide distribution for her next film, “Run Rabbit Run.” STX nabbed rights to the Daina Reid-directed genre pic. A press release announced that STXfilms will directly distribute “Run Rabbit Run” in the U.S., U.K., and Ireland with STXinternational set to introduce the film to buyers at this week’s Cannes Virtual Market.

Written by novelist Hannah Kent, “Run Rabbit Run” is set in Australia and is described by Deadline as “a modern-day ghost story.” The film follows Sarah, “a fertility doctor, with a firm understanding of the cycle of life. When she is forced to make sense of the increasingly strange behavior of her young daughter Mia, she must challenge her own beliefs and confront a ghost from her past.”

Moss is among the project’s producers.

Shooting is scheduled to kick off this year.

“Run Rabbit Run” marks a reunion for Reid and Moss. The former directed the latter in four episodes of “The Handmaid’s Tale.” Moss has received two Emmy nods for her starring role in Hulu’s Margaret Atwood adaptation, and won an Emmy for exec producing the dystopian drama. She also scored Emmy nominations for her roles in “Mad Men” and “Top of the Lake.”

Episodes of “Space Force,” “Upload,” and “The Outsider” are among Reid’s most recent credits. She made her feature directorial debut with 2010’s “I Love You Too.”

“The Invisible Man” has taken in over $124 million worldwide. Moss’ other recent credits include “Shirley,” “The Kitchen,” and “Us.”

“To try and play more complicated characters who have more than one layer to them is the only thing that’s interesting,” Moss recently told The Hollywood Reporter. “I guess I’m attracted to it from the very beginning in the writing. If I’m going to be able to have enough to play and if it’s going to be complex enough is something that I look for. Any good script or any good role is gonna have that.” She explained, “I’ve always gravitated toward darker characters, more complicated people, because it’s always been more interesting to me. I don’t know what came first, the chicken or the egg; I don’t know whether it’s something that I chose and now that’s all people ask me to do. Or vice versa. Ever since I was way younger, even a teenager, I never got roles that were too simple or too one-note. I would audition for them, but I often wouldn’t get them.”
