First Look at TIFF Sales Crime Thriller ‘Wardriver’ Starring Dane DeHaan and Sasha Calle

As a seasoned film critic with over two decades of movie-watching under my belt, I must say that the upcoming crime thriller “Wardriver” has piqued my interest like never before. The ensemble cast, led by Dane DeHaan and joined by the promising talents of Sasha Calle, Mamoudou Athie, and Jeffrey Donovan, is nothing short of impressive.


As a passionate movie enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that I’ll be part of the star-studded cast for the upcoming crime thriller “Wardriver.” Joining me are Sasha Calle, Mamoudou Athie, and Jeffrey Donovan, with Dane DeHaan leading the pack. The film is masterfully directed by Rebecca Thomas and penned by Daniel. This cinematic gem is produced by Star Thrower Entertainment, under the guidance of Tim and Trevor White. David M. Wulf, Daniel Casey, DeHaan, and Highland Film Group are also involved in its production. The film will be represented internationally at TIFF, while CAA Media Finance handles the domestic rights. Can’t wait to see this on the big screen!

Production recently wrapped in Utah.

In the movie, tech-whiz burglar Cole (DeHaan) uses his advanced skills on his laptop to carry out high-tech heists. When crook Oscar (Athie) learns about Cole’s talents, he compels him to hack into Sarah’s (Calle) account, taking almost a million dollars. However, Cole later finds out that a powerful lawyer with ties to the mob (Donovan) has been using Sarah as a front for his money. As Cole develops feelings for Sarah, he devises a plan to return the stolen funds and safeguard her. Disregarding hints that something bigger is unfolding, Cole eventually gets ensnared in an intricate web of deceit, treachery, and betrayal.
