Sender is the directorial debut of Russell Goldman and it’s based on his 2022 short film Return to Sender. Lower will star alongside Jamie Lee Curtis, who is also producing the movie, Rhea Seehorn, and David Dastmalchian.
Lower is best known for playing Helly R in sci-fi thriller Severance, while Seehorn has been garnering rave reviews in another successful Apple TV series: Pluribus, from Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan. As for Curtis and Dastmalchian, neither is a stranger to the horror genre. As well as leading the iconic Halloween franchise, Curtis has also starred in scary movies like The Fog and Prom Night, while Dastmalchian recently led Late Night With the Devil about a possession that happens live on air during a late night talk show.
“I am so proud to be a part of Russell’s first movie, the first of many,” Curtis said in a statement when Sender was first announced. “The little seed that Comet Pictures planted has now grown into a feature filled with talented artists surrounding a new and exciting filmmaker.”
Sender doesn’t have a release date yet, but will premiere at the SXSW Film & TV Festival in March. For more on what to watch, check out our guide to the best upcoming horror movies.
