Sarah Snook joins Daina Reid’s Run Rabbit Run

Sarah Snook (Succession, Predestination) is set to star in director Daina Reid’s (The Handmaid’s Tale, The Outsider, Upload) Run Rabbit Run which begins pre-production this month and shoots in Victoria and South Australia.

Snook replaces Elisabeth Moss who was previously announced. Acclaimed novelist Hannah Kent wrote the script from an original idea developed with Carver Films, with Anna McLeish and Sarah Shaw of Carver Films (Relic, Snowtown, Partisan) to produce, with XYZ Films executive producing, along with 30West and executive producers Deanne Weir and Olivia Humphrey. XYZ Films is financing via its production fund backed by IPR.VC, in conjunction with Screen Australia, with XYZ also handling worldwide sales. Umbrella Entertainment is managing Australia/NZ distribution.

Snook plays a fertility doctor whose firm grasp on the cycle of life is put to the test as her young daughter begins to exhibit increasingly strange behavior.

Reid previously directed Snook in the multi-award-winning limited series The Secret River.

RUN RABBIT RUN is a Carver Films production, with major production investment from XYZ and Screen Australia, in association with Film Victoria, the South Australian Film Corporation, the Adelaide Film Festival Investment Fund and Soundfirm.

XYZ’s recent slate of sales titles include the completed STOWAWAY starring Anna Kendrick and Toni Collette, which was released as a Netflix Original in April. Other titles include Netflix original THE TRIP starring Noomi Rapace and Aksel Hennie, GOD IS A BULLET starring Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Maika Monroe and Jamie Foxx, current production NOCEBO with Eva Green and Mark Strong, Sion Sono’s PRISONERS OF THE GHOSTLAND, starring Nicolas Cage and Sofia Boutella, which premiered at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival, and SXSW horror-thriller GAIA, which was recently acquired by Decal. XYZ is also in post-production on DUAL starring Karen Gillan, Aaron Paul and Beulah Koale.
