‘The Night Driver’: Cineverse Acquires Horror Movie Starring David Arquette, Josh Lucas and Alyssa Milano

Cineverse has acquired the North American distribution rights to The Night Driver, an upcoming horror thriller starring Josh Lucas, David Arquette, and Alyssa Milano. Directed by Jeremy Weiss, the film recently premiered at the Screamfest Horror Film Festival. A release date has not yet been announced.

According to Deadline, Cineverse plans to release the film in North America, with further distribution details expected at a later date.

What Is The Night Driver About?

The Night Driver follows Hurdis Matheson, a traveling pharmaceutical salesman played by Josh Lucas, whose attempt to return home to his family turns into a nightmare after he survives a violent encounter with a psychopathic killer.

Rather than escaping the danger, Hurdis finds himself pursued across the country and framed for multiple murders. With law enforcement launching a nationwide manhunt, Detective Granger, played by David Arquette, must uncover the truth and prove Hurdis is innocent.

Alyssa Milano stars as Cheryl, Hurdis’ wife.

The official synopsis reads:

“Traveling pharmaceutical salesman Hurdis Matheson (Josh Lucas) is desperate to return home to his wife Cheryl (Alyssa Milano) and family after surviving a run-in with a psychotic killer, only to be stalked relentlessly by him across the country and framed for several murders along the way. The police are on a nationwide manhunt for Hurdis, and it is up to Detective Granger (David Arquette) to prove Hurdis’ innocence.”

The Night Driver Cast and Creative Team

Alongside Lucas, Arquette, and Milano, the film features Charlotte Kirk (The Reckoning), Eileen Dietz (Halloween II), Danielle Vasinova (The Madison), and Gina La Piana (Meet Dave).

Weiss directs the film, with John Cork writing the screenplay. Horror veteran Sean S. Cunningham, best known for directing Friday the 13th, serves as executive producer.

Cineverse has compared the film’s suspenseful approach to the 1986 thriller The Hitcher, describing The Night Driver as a relentless journey in which danger and murder lurk around every turn.
