Olivia Wilde is a modern-day Renaissance woman. As an actress and an activist, she effortlessly transitions between sharing the screen with renowned actors in critically acclaimed films and television shows and working alongside devoted doctors and teachers in Haitian refugee camps.
In her most recent film, Deadfall, she and Eric Bana play siblings Liza and Addison on a run from a casino heist gone wrong. After a car accident leaves their wheel man and a state trooper dead, they decide to split up and make a run for the Canadian border in the worst of circumstances- a near whiteout blizzard.
Screenwriter Zach Dean planned for his first screenplay to be a traditional straight-forward thriller. But a nerve-wracking transcontinental flight from California to New York inspired him to add the different dimensions to the story ultimately resulting to the Deadfall’s current plot.
