- Eric McCormack stars in the psychological thriller 'You're Safe Now,' written by Jess Mastro and directed by Nimisha Mukerji (whose credits include 'Under The Bridge' and an episode of '911').
- McCormack — who won the 2001 Emmy for Lead Actor in a Comedy and played Will Truman across 246 episodes of NBC's 'Will & Grace' — joins castmates Anja Savcic ('Loudermilk'), Jesse Rath ('Supergirl'), and Bo Martynowska ('Nancy Drew').
- 'You're Safe Now' is described by producers as a character-driven psychological drama and "an aching portrait of loneliness, mortality and the monstrous forms love can take," with production currently underway in Toronto.
- The Launch Company is producing and financing the film, with the label's Chris K. Daniels named as producer alongside Mastro and Craig Fleming; Mastro also serves as the company's Head of Development.
- McCormack most recently starred in MGM+/Sony Studios' 'Nine Dead Bodies in a Mexican Morgue' and Hulu's 'The Other Black Girl,' and holds stars on both Canada's Walk of Fame and the Hollywood Walk of Fame; he is represented by Gersh, 3 Arts Entertainment, and Sloane Offer Weber & Dern.
Why it matters: The casting gives The Launch Company an Emmy-pedigreed lead for its Toronto production and pairs McCormack with Nimisha Mukerji, a director whose recent credits include Hulu's 'Under the Bridge,' signaling a dramatic pivot for an actor most associated with NBC sitcom stardom.
