In a competitive situation, MGM’s Orion Pictures has won the feature film rights and will partner with producer Freddy Wexler on a feature length film based on the life of Keith Adams, coach of the championship winning all-deaf High School football team, the Riverside Cubs.
The film, which will also focus on the lives of Adams’ two sons who played on the team, is expected to begin production in 2023.
Henry Joost and Rel Schulman, the duo behind “Project Power” and “Catfish,” are set to direct the feature from a script by Josh Feldman, best known for Marvel’s “Grasshopper,” and a story by Wexler. Feldman previously co-wrote “This Close,” the first major U.S. series created by deaf writers.

Walt Disney Pictures is developing the dance drama Grace, which will center on a highly talented, disabled dancer.
Freddy Wexler, best known as the Grammy-nominated songwriter behind records from Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande and Demi Lovato, is producing the project and will co-write the screenplay along with Kiera Allen, the wheelchair-using actress that made her feature debut opposite Sarah Paulson in the Hulu film Run. It’s unclear if the project, which is in early development, will land on streaming or in theaters.
The logline for the project reads: “The story centers around a promising 17-year-old dancer, who is left paralyzed from the waist down, after getting into a debilitating car accident; with the help of an exacting artistic director, she becomes the star of a premiere dance company.”

In 1967, Audrey Hepburn was nominated for an Oscar for her performance in Wait Until Dark, a film about a blind woman who becomes the target of three con-men. Due to the character’s impairment, Terence Young’s film – ranked among AFI’s best thrills – becomes a much more anxiety-inducing experience than most thrillers. But what if the star was actually visually impaired? Something not thought of or considered at that time, but Randall Okita’s See for Me, written by Adam Yorke and Tommy Gushue, is one of only a handful of films that allow actors with disabilities to shine – in situations only they could fully understand or convey. Wheelchair user Kiera Allen shows immense strength as she attempts to escape the suffocating clutches of a psychotic mother in Run, giving one of the best performances in 2020. Representation like Allen’s on-screen is barrier-breaking because it shows that those with...

They say you can never escape a mother’s love… but for Chloe, that’s not a comfort — it’s a threat.

At a virtual ceremony, Natalie Qasabian was awarded the 2021 Sundance Institute / Amazon Studios Producers Award for Fiction Filmmaking for her film, Run. The awards honor bold vision and a commitment to continuing work as a creative producer in the independent space.
Qasabian’s husband/partner Sev Ohanian won the award two years ago for his work on Searching, which they produced together. Qasabian was presented by the award with her frequent collaborator, director Aneesh Chaganty (Searching, Run).
“As producers, we may doubt whether or not we can do something: but we can’t ever doubt if it’s worth doing,” Qasabian said in accepting the award. “If we don’t cast the people that haven’t been cast before, if we don’t hire the crew member that hasn’t been hired before, tell the story that hasn’t been told before, or work with that first-time director who’s never been produced before…...

Kiera Allen stars opposite Sarah Paulson in the new thriller Run (available now on Hulu), in which she portrays the wheelchair-bound daughter of Paulson’s manipulative mother character. As a wheelchair user herself, Allen was encouraged to audition for the role by how thoughtfully her physical disability was portrayed in the script.
“This is one of the best representations of a disabled character I’ve ever seen in a script,” she says. “I actually emailed Aneesh [Chaganty], the director, and said, ‘Whatever happens with casting, I just can’t wait to see this movie,...

Hulu's horror-thriller movie Run is a success thanks to blink-and-you-miss-it moments, nerve-wracking performances by both Sarah Paulson and Kiera Allen, and an unexpected twist ending. If you haven't seen it but really just want the spoilers, here's what to know: Chloe (Allen), who is paralyzed from the waist down, slowly discovers her mother might be the reason behind her disability. Diane (Paulson) is a sinister character who stops at nothing to continue to make her daughter ill, giving her unidentified green pills that turn out to be canine muscle relaxants, hiding her awaited college acceptance letters, and eventually trapping Chloe in a basement when she begins to question her mother's motives.
What Are the Twists in Run?
As Chloe embarks on her journey to discover her past and her mother's evil intentions, visiting a pharmacy to find out about her pills, flagging down a mailman, and even drinking poison...

Stephen King has a habit of recommending movies and TV shows to his million of social media followers, and his top picks aren’t always confined to the horror genre that’s proved so beneficial to him over the decades, cementing his reputation as one of the most famous authors on the planet, as well as one of the most heavily adapted figures in Hollywood.
The prolific writer was just one of the 62 million people that checked out The Queen’s Gambit over the last four weeks, and the 73 year-old was so impressed that he recommended it twice. The latest project to have caught King’s eye, though, is definitely more within his wheelhouse, and Hulu’s horror thriller Run is quickly gaining a reputation as one of the year’s best genre movies after racking up an impressive 93% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

“Searching” director Aneesh Chaganty’s new thriller “Run” debuted November 20 on Hulu, introducing moviegoers to breakout actress Kiera Allen. As the streaming giant advertised ahead of the film’s debut, Allen’s starring role makes “Run” the first feature film from an American studio to star a disabled leading actress in over 70 years. The search for Allen’s role of Chloe was “an intense and countrywide” endeavor, Chaganty recently told MovieMaker. Casting a disabled actress as a disabled character was a given for the director and his collaborators, writer Sev Ohanian and producer Natalie Qasabian.
“It was never a controversial topic between the three of us,” Chaganty said. “It was sort of like, ‘Yeah, we’re doing this right?’ ‘Yeah.’ ‘Cool.’ And then the process of actually finding this person proved to be an intense and countrywide sort of search. And we ended up finding this incredible talent in Kiera Allen.

There aren’t any huge surprises in the specialty box office as we enter what is expected to be a very different Thanksgiving holiday week. Normally, this would be the time of year where people would be participating in post-Thanksgiving dinner moviegoing. But, as we know, theaters are shuttered. As the spike in Covid cases across the country continue, box office numbers won’t be seeing much action, as lockdowns and stay-at-home orders impact numbers.

The producers of the Sarah Paulson thriller “Run” said that prior to casting disabled actress Kiera Allen in the lead role, they saw several actresses in auditions who claimed they used a wheelchair but were actually able-bodied.
“Run” producers Sev Ohanian and Natalie Qasabian along with director Aneesh Chaganty spoke in an interview with MovieMaker and said that, from the beginning, they were committed to casting a disabled actress. But in searching online, they came across several people who lied about using wheelchairs in their real lives.
“There were a couple of young ladies we saw that submitted themselves as people with disabilities. And we were like, wow, they’re really talented… but somebody looked them up on Instagram,” Ohanian said. “There were videos of them walking on the beach from like, two hours ago.”

Sarah Paulson can do no wrong. The actress—seemingly everywhere lately—has steadily become one of Hollywood’s most reliable thespians.
With any other performer headlining Run, it would surely not have the same mettle that it possesses, even if the story is one that we have seen before.
Joining her in the stellar performance department is Kiera Allen. What she accomplishes with her turn as Chloe Sherman, the 17-year-old daughter to Paulson’s Diane Sherman, is the sort of talent announcement that Hollywood history will look back on as the moment when her career took off.
We meet the Sherman matriarch in Aneesh Chaganty’s film in the opening moments as she welcomes a child into the world that is clearly a preemie. Without any exposition needed, viewers keenly know the uphill battle that lies ahead for Diane’s little girl.

For cinematographer Hillary Spera, shooting Hulu’s thriller “Run,” about a controlling mother and her disabled daughter, was about capturing tension, isolation — and monotony.
Sarah Paulson stars as Diane Sherman, mom to teenager Chloe, played by Kiera Allen, who has spent her life in a wheelchair. Chronically ill, Kiera sticks close to her mother until she discovers her parent’s twisted and sinister side.
Spera (“The Craft: Legacy”) spent time discussing director Aneesh Chaganty’s vision with him to ensure the film, which bows Nov. 20, had an opening sequence that captured the repetition of Chloe’s everyday life: She gets out of bed, takes her medication, eats breakfast, has her blood sugar tested, uses her asthma inhaler and receives physiotherapy from her mother before her day of homeschooling begins.
“The idea was to show what she is capable of. She has a disability, but she’s incredibly capable, especially when...

Sarah Paulson is either the world’s best mother or the worst in “Run,” a deranged (in a good way) two-hander from “Searching” director Aneesh Chaganty that piles one tragedy upon another and serves it up in the form of a thriller.
The first of these injustices is revealed in the opening scene: Paulson plays expectant mother Diane Sherman, whose only child is delivered prematurely, taken from her and hooked up to machines in a long-shot hope for its survival. The second emerges only gradually almost 17 years later, as Diane’s college-bound daughter, Chloe (Kiera Allen) — who’s dealt with diabetes, asthma and lower-body paralysis for as long as she can remember — starts to question whether her life could have gone a very different way.
Short answer: Yes. But Chloe is hardly prepared for the degree to which her reality has been meticulously constructed by Diane. And the film’s title,...

Going from the theater world and studying at Columbia University to starring in a feature film with Sarah Paulson would be daunting for even the most seasoned actors, yet that's exactly what newcomer Kiera Allen did for Hulu's Run, premiering Nov. 20. The film sees Allen as Chloe, the teenage daughter of Paulson's Diane, who begins to realize that her controlling mother has been hiding a dark secret from her and may not have her best interests at heart.
When it came to making the jump from stage to screen, Allen was most surprised that a lot of the skills carried over. "I think I was nervous because I'd never done a feature film before," she told Popsugar. "But I was very surprised, and very gratified, to find that most of the skills from acting in theater carry over to film. It's just about learning." And...

When it came to making the jump from stage to screen, Allen was most surprised that a lot of the skills carried over. "I think I was nervous because I'd never done a feature film before," she told Popsugar. "But I was very surprised, and very gratified, to find that most of the skills from acting in theater carry over to film. It's just about learning." And...

Strong execution can make almost any premise work. Especially when it comes to thrillers, in particular ones with somewhat confined spaces, the concept often is ridiculous. However, executing said ridiculous premise can make for an instant classic. Filmmaker Aneesh Chaganty proved himself an ace executor of the genre with his breakthrough Searching, which had pretty much the highest of concepts. Now, he’s back with Run, another thriller that is almost impeccably crafted. Hitting Hulu this week, it’s kind of a shame that this couldn’t have been a theatrical experience. The streamer will benefit, but this was made for audiences to hold their breath along to. Alas, though at least it can still be enjoyed in the comfort of your own home. The film is a thriller, centering on a mother and a daughter. Chloe Sherman (Kiera Allen) is a homeschooled teenager who’s cared for by her mother,...

You may come into the new thriller “Run” a fan of Sarah Paulson or of filmmaker Aneesh Chaganty, who previously frayed nerves with his film “Searching.” But you will undoubtedly leave a fan of Kiera Allen, the remarkable actor at the center of the movie who makes her film debut.
The first major thriller to star a wheelchair user since 1948’s “The Sign of the Ram,” “Run” isn’t just notable for its authentic casting, but for what Allen calls “its authentic characters.” She admits to being relieved to see a well-crafted, suspenseful script by Chaganty and Sev Ohanian that “doesn’t just have a disabled character shoved into a trope, something that reduces the complexity of the person or has them there to inform someone else’s journey.”
In fact, “Run” is a tense, non-stop ride that centers on Allen’s character, Chloe, a young woman who has spent most of her life ill.

Chloe Sherman (Kiera Allen), the protagonist of Run, is a differently abled teenage girl who lives a quiet, reclusive life with her mother Diane (Sarah Paulson) at their rural home in Washington State. Bright, talented and home educated by the devoted Diane, Chloe has been plagued by illness literally since birth: diabetes, asthma, and cardiac arrhythmia are among the issues she deals with daily, not to mention being confined to a wheelchair due to the loss of use of her legs.
Nevertheless, mother and daughter seem to lead a relatively happy life, even if mom sidesteps her requests for an iPhone and Chloe is disappointed that she has not heard back yet from Washington State University regarding her college application. But one day Chloe discovers something that doesn’t quite make sense, and suddenly realizes that her life with Diane–who literally controls her daughter’s carefully calibrated life from...

Saying goodbye to children when they leave home is never easy. For Diane (Sarah Paulson) it may be harder still, because she's homeschooled Chloe (Kiera Allen) and spent every day of the past 18 years with her. Members of her premature birth support group assume that Chloe's severe disability and complex illness must also factor into it, but she dismisses that. Nobody is as tough and independent as her daughter, she says.
She has no idea.
There's a blind spot that most people have when it comes to mothers and children. These days, most of us are alert to the fact that abuse can happen in all sorts of close relationships, yet our cultural belief in maternal love is so strong that it's often hard to admit there could be a problem with that bond - hard to recognise it even when it's right in front of us.

ABC’s “Grey’s Anatomy,” Apple TV Plus’ “Little Voice” and Netflix’s “Locke & Key” and “Away” are the four television series that have just earned the Ruderman Family Foundation’s Seal of Authentic Representation, Variety has learned exclusively.
Additionally, the foundation is awarding the seal, which is given to those projects that demonstrate a commitment toward authentic representation of people with disabilities by featuring actors with disabilities in a speaking role with at least five lines, to two films: “Sam & Mattie Make a Zombie Movie” and “Run.”
“With each and every authentic casting decision, Hollywood takes another crucial step toward fulfilling its true and long-unrealized potential as a beacon of inclusion and diversity in all its forms,” said Jay Ruderman, president of the Ruderman Family Foundation. “The latest recipients of the Seal of Authentic Representation, building off the momentum generated by our previous rounds of honorees, powerfully exhibit the...

"You may not understand this right now - but I am doing what I know is best for you." Hulu has revealed one final trailer for the psychological thriller Run, which is launching on the streaming service in November despite originally being set to open in theaters in May. Another movie skipping theaters entirely due to the pandemic. This is the second feature film made by filmmaker Aneesh Chaganty, who broke out big a few years back with the fantastic screen-based thriller Searching. His next one leans a bit more into horror. Chaganty's Run is about a home schooled teenager named Chloe, who begins to suspect that her mother is keeping a dark secret from her, controlling her every move. Starring Sarah Paulson as the mother, and Kiera Allen as the daughter, along with Pat Healy and Erik Athavale. It's pretty easy to figure out the main twist from this trailer,...

Filmmaker Aneesh Chaganty stormed Utah in 2018 with his 2018 breakout thriller “Searching,” for which he won the Alfred P. Sloan Feature Film Prize at the Sundance Film Festival. That film, a mystery thriller mostly set within computer screens and smartphones, was inventive and exciting, almost a pre-cursor to what some of the more adventurous filmmakers have done on Quibi. Well, Hollywood took notice, came calling and Chaganty is already back with his latest, “Run,” a mother-daughter horror/thriller that stars Sarah Paulson and Kiera Allen.

Gaslighting and the fear that the person we’re closest to is lying always have been popular motifs in the horror and thriller genres — most famously depicted in 1941’s “Suspicion” and 1944’s “Gaslight.” Features like 1962’s “What Ever Happened to Baby Jane” utilized disability to create an added air of helplessness to Joan Crawford’s character; it’s expanded out to the Munchausen narrative portrayed most recently in the 2019 series “The Act.” With the addition of disability, these tropes take on added poignance.
Carrie Sandhal, Associate Professor in the Department of Disability and Human Development at the University of Illinois at Chicago, explains the fear of being gaslit and disbelieved is a real concern outside of celluloid walls. From recent run-ins with the police involving the mentally ill or deaf to the historical associations of the insane asylum, able-bodied people watch horror as a means of distancing themselves, believing it can’t happen to them.

For his follow-up to 2018’s Searching, Aneesh Chaganty is once again exploring the challenges of raising teenage children in his latest film, Run, but this time, it’s the parental figure that is behind the central conflict to the story. With shades of Stephen King bubbling just below its surface, Run is a taut and highly suspenseful thriller that often zigs when you’re expecting it to zag, resulting in an expertly crafted, nerve-shredding psychological thriller that may tread some familiar narrative territory, but manages to thwart any expectations you may have about what to expect.
In Run, Sarah Paulson plays Diane, a mother who has devoted the last 17 years of her life to being the sole provider and caregiver to her daughter, Chloe (Kiera Allen), who has a myriad of special needs that require constant attention and keeps her tucked away from the world. Chloe yearns for her freedom,...

Having a mother is a scary thing in “Run,” Aneesh Chaganty’s slick thriller starring a deranged Sarah Paulson as the domineering single parent of a chronically unwell young woman played by Kiera Allen. Clearly inspired by the millennium-defining Munchausen by proxy case of all — that of Gypsy Rose Blanchard — “Run” has more in common with “What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?” than Hitchcock, operating at the clip of a runaway train. You think, What the hell am I watching? And you wouldn’t be wrong, as
The movie’s cold and clammy opening sequence in a greenly lit hospital immediately conjure visions of another hot Sarah Paulson project at the moment, Netflix’s “Ratched,” in which she stars as a demented nurse. In “Run” as Diane Sherman, Paulson is the patient here, wheeled through the hospital to meet a baby, shriveled and underweight and in critical condition, that apparently belongs to her.

The hospital equipment beeps above doctors frantically at work to save a baby in crisis, her mother awaiting news in another room. Then the textual definitions of numerous diseases arrive on-screen one after another to foreshadow the difficult road ahead for both parent and child to beat the odds and persevere. So seeing Diane Sherman’s (Sarah Paulson) smile when asked by the leader of her homeschooling parents group if she’s ready to watch eighteen-year-old Chloe (Kiera Allen) head off to college is all we need to know that they succeeded. They accomplished it together with a copious amount of pills, a sprawling garden of fresh vegetables, and a seemingly bottomless wealth of unshakeable love. All that’s left is the acceptance letter they know is on its way.
This simple desire drives Chloe at the start of director Aneesh Chaganty and co-writer Sev Ohanian’s sophomore effort Run.

A delicious Hitchcockian thriller about the perils of maternal codependency, Aneesh Chaganty’s sophomore feature Run proves wrong anyone who might’ve suspected the attention given to his 2018 Sundance darling Searching was due to its screens-centric formal gimmick. (The film, which opened the online Nightstream festival Thursday, will debut on Hulu November 20th.)
Dueling excellent performances from a deranged Sarah Paulson and spunky newcomer Kiera Allen (in her feature debut) make it hard to look away from the screen, not that the pacing of Geganty and Sev Ohanian’s script allows much opportunity for distraction.

Hulu has set a release date for Aneesh Chaganty’s (Searching) Run starring Emmy winner Sarah Paulson and newcomer Kiera Allen. The thriller is set to drop on the streamer November 20.
Run was the latest film from Lionsgate to forego a theatrical release and head to digital. The horror Antebellum also skipped the big screen stateside dropped on PVOD. Hulu acquired domestic rights to Run from Lionsgate in what was reported to be a competitive situation. However, Run, like Antebellum is expected to be released theatrically overseas. The movie was originally set to have a May 8 (which was appropriate considering it was Mother’s Day) theatrical release but due to a little global pandemic, it, like other films pivoted to other release strategies due to the shut down the big theater chains in mid-March.

“Run,” a Lionsgate horror thriller starring Sarah Paulson that was supposed to be released in movie theaters on May 8 in time for Mother’s Day, will now be shown on streaming site Hulu instead. No start date right now, but the scary movie will also be released in select theaters overseas.
The title was pulled from the studio’s release schedule in mid-March in the midst of the coronavirus outbreak, when many film release dates were pushed back or switched to becoming a VOD offering or premiering on a streaming site. According to The Hollywood Reporter, there was no lack of suitors for the chiller directed by Aneesh Chaganty. That might be partly because the all-too-relatable sheltering-in-place theme of the movie is about teen girl (newcomer Kiera Allen) who has been raised in total isolation while relying on a wheelchair.

Lionsgate has sold domestic rights to Sarah Paulson’s “Run” to streaming service Hulu, making the thriller the latest in a long line of titles to ditch its planned theatrical release amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
“Run” is directed by Aneesh Chaganty. Natalie Qasabian and Sev Ohanian are producing from a script by Chaganty and Ohanian. Paulson portrays the mother of a teenage girl — played by newcomer Kiera Allen — who has been raised in total isolation. The girl’s life begins to unravel as she discovers her mother’s sinister secret.
“Run” will be released theatrically in select international markets. “Run” is the second feature from the filmmaking team behind “Searching,” which starred John Cho as a father searching for his missing daughter. It premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and went on to earn more than $75 million worldwide.
Hulu handled the release of Andy Samberg’s romantic comedy “Palm Springs” — its most-watched movie premiere.

Hulu has acquired the domestic rights to “Run,” a thriller from “Searching” director Aneesh Chaganty and starring Sarah Paulson, from Lionsgate after it was pulled from the theatrical release slate earlier this year.
“Run” was meant to open on May 8 but was pulled from the schedule. Hulu has not set a new release date as of yet. The film will still be released theatrically in select international markets.
