20th Digital Studio’s sci-fi-thriller film “The Mill” will debut exclusively on Hulu in the U.S. and Disney+ internationally later this year.
“The Mill” follows a white-collar businessman who mysteriously wakes up in an open-air prison cell containing only an old grist mill. Forced to work as a beast of burden to stay alive, he must find a way to escape before the birth of his child.
Lil Rel Howery (Get Out) will star. Additional cast includes Scoot McNairy, of the Sundance 2023 father-daughter drama Fairyland, as well as Pat Healy (Station 19) and Karen Obilom (House Party).
The film is written by Jeffrey David Thomas (All American: Homecoming, Titans) and directed by Sean King O’Grady (We Need to Do Something).
Producers on the film are Josh Feldman, Howery, O’Grady and Jesse Ford. Barbara and Brooke Goldner are exec producing for Altar Rock Pictures, with David Worthen Brooks, Arbi Pedrossian, and Jenna Cavelle of 20th Digital Studio. Pic’s deal was brokered by Feldman on behalf of Altar Rock and Cavelle from 20th Digital.
“The Mill” is one of a number of horrors produced for Hulu by the genre-focused 20th Digital, joining a slate that includes Grimcutty, Matriarch, and the upcoming Clock and Appendage.
