Dennis Quaid, Isabelle Fuhrman, David Thewlis, Josh Hutcherson & Kiera Allen To Star In Sci-Fi Mystery ‘Littlemouth’ From Director Jonathan Sobol

EXCLUSIVE: Dennis Quaid (Midway), Isabelle Fuhrman (The Novice), David Thewlis (Fargo), Josh Hutcherson (The Hunger Games franchise) and Kiera Allen (The Good Doctor) will star in the sci-fi mystery Littlemouth, which has entered production in the Cayman Islands. Jonathan Sobol (The Padre) wrote the script and is directing for Productivity Media and and Darius Films.


The film set in the present day follows a brilliant computer scientist (Fuhrman) who is recruited by a charismatic tech billionaire (Quaid) to work on a secret project that might just change humanity’s place in the universe forever, though it comes at great risk. Nicholas Tabarrok (Defendor, Stockholm) is producing alongside Productivity Media’s William G. Santor (Four Good Days) and Doug Murray (Unplugging), with Mimi Steinbauer’s Radiant Films handling international distribution rights.

“This is a story I am passionate about telling and I’m thrilled and humbled with the cast that has come together to bring it to life,” said Sobol. “With Isabelle Fuhrman in the lead working with an icon like Dennis Quaid and the incomparable David Thewlis (one of my all-time favorite actors), to younger stars like Josh and Keira – I simply couldn’t have asked for a better group of artists to work with.”


“When I read Jonathan’s original screenplay, I was so taken by the creative spin that he had taken on the sci-fi genre,” added Santor. “His script makes the reader think about decisions made by scientists and how they affect the world around us and beyond. He is the only filmmaker that could direct his script into a film that genre fans will love.”


Quaid is an Emmy and two-time Golden Globe nominee whose recent credits include the films American Underdog, Midway and A Dog’s Journey, as well as such series as Netflix’s Merry Happy Whatever and Prime Video’s Goliath. He’ll also soon feature in Sam McNamara’s dramas On a Wing and a Prayer and Reagan, Don Hall’s Disney animated pic Strange World and Jeff Celentano’s baseball drama The Hill, among others.

Thewlis landed an Emmy nom a few years back for his stellar turn as V.M. Varga in FX’s Fargo. He’s recently appeared in films including Zack Snyder’s Justice League and I’m Thinking of Ending Things, as well as such series as Landscapers, Barkskins and Netflix’s Big Mouth and Human Resources.
