Scream Queen and Oscar-winner Jamie Lee Curtis (“Halloween,” “Everything Everywhere All At Once”) is co-starring and producing a new psychological horror flick, “Sender,” and they’ve revealed quite the casting addition to the lineup.
Deadline is reporting that actress Britt Lower has joined Curtis, David Dastmalchian (“Late Night With The Devil”), and Anna Baryshnikov (“Love Lies Bleeding”) in a lead role as the pic is based on Russell Goldman‘s “Return To Sender.”
An award-winning 2022 short that Goldman later adapted into a 2023 Black List script (a collection of the best unproduced scripts that have led to some excellent films) and is now making his feature directorial debut as production is underway.

The outlet also adds a brief logline for “Sender,” as it “follows a woman (Lower) who experiences an e-commerce package delivery scam that becomes so personal and disturbing that she becomes hellbent on discovering the identity of the anonymous sender.”
Lower, of course, is coming off the second season of the acclaimed and wildly popular Apple TV+ series “Severance,” which recently got a season three greenlight from the streaming service with creative mastermind Ben Stiller returning and promising a quicker turnaround for the next wave of episodes.
A producing team assembled for “Sender” will include Curtis at Comet Pictures alongside Molly Hallam and Jake Katofsky, Akshay Shah, Lower, Goldman, Thomas Grabinski, Eric Baird, Cesar Vega, and Mireia Vilanova. Also, Verve Ventures has attached Hallam to the project as they’re overseeing North American sales.
