Two actors known for playing iconic villains are coming face-to-face in Locked. Anthony Hopkins channels his Hannibal Lecter performance in the film as he squares off against Bill Skarsgard, known for his chilling role as Pennywise the Clown.
Locked is directed by David Yarovesky best known for the Gunn brothers’ dark Superman thriller, Brightburn. The screenplay is by Turistas writer Michael Arlen Ross, with Sam Raimi as a producer.
The film stars Skarsgard as Eddie, a down-on-his-luck thief who breaks into the wrong luxury SUV and finds that it is a well-orchestrated trap laid by Hopkins’ self-professed vigilante, William, who has a thing about good manners and people not stealing things. That would be rude.
So how much damage can William do to Eddie from the inside of a car? Quite a lot, as you’ll see in the footage. Air conditioner as deadly weapon? Sure, why not.
The Avenue will release Locked in theaters on March 21st.
SYNOPSIS: From producer Sam Raimi (Evil Dead, Drag Me to Hell) comes a relentless horror-thriller where luxury becomes deadly. When Eddie (Bill Skarsgård) breaks into a luxury SUV, he steps into a deadly trap set by William (Anthony Hopkins), a self-proclaimed vigilante delivering his own brand of twisted justice. With no means of escape, Eddie must fight to survive in a ride where escape is an illusion, survival is a nightmare, and justice shifts into high gear.
