Principal photography is underway in Vancouver on Warner Bros. Pictures’ HIDDEN, starring Alexander Skarsgård (“True Blood”) and Andrea Riseborough (Shadow Dancer).


In the film, Ray (Skarsgård), Claire (Riseborough) and their seven-year-old daughter, Zoe, are an average American family in Kingsville, North Carolina – except they have existed in a bomb shelter since escaping a day of devastation that changed everything.


For 301 days, they have transformed their cement prison into a home, holding on to memories of the past and hope for a normal life someday. And for 301 days, the family has eluded what looms above the surface – the heavy breathing and booming footsteps that punctuate the night, threatening their fragile existence.


All the while, the family has managed to stay hidden. Until now. Now their safe haven has been breached… and something is coming for them.

Brothers Matt and Ross Duffer, who wrote the original script, make their feature film directorial debut on HIDDEN. The film also stars Emily Alyn Lind (J. Edgar) as daughter Zoe.

Warner Bros. has not set a release date for HIDDEN yet.
