Global Road Entertainment has released the poster to Drew Pearce’s much-anticipated directorial debut Hotel Artemis, joining Academy Award Winner Jodie Foster, Emmy Award Winner Sterling K. Brown, Charlie Day, Jenny Slate, Brian Tyree Henry, Jeff Goldblum, Dave Bautista, Sofia Boutella, and Kenneth Choi.
Golden Globe and Emmy winner Marc Platt (“La La Land,” “Grease: Live”) is producing alongside Adam Siegel and The Ink Factory’s Stephen Cornwell and Simon Cornwell. Principal photography is set to begin this Thursday in Los Angeles.
WME Global is handling U.S. rights. Lionsgate launched international sales on The Ink Factory financed and produced action thriller in Berlin last February.
Penned by Pearce and set in the near future Los Angeles, Hotel Artemis follows a nurse (Foster) who runs an underground hospital for Los Angeles’ most sinister criminals, and finds that one of her patients is actually there to assassinate another.
After Waikiki (Brown) and Honolulu (Henry) participate in a heist that leaves the latter injured, they flee to Hotel Artemis to seek health care. Waikiki’s valuable keepsake worth $18 million from the heist introduces a world of further danger when a notorious bad guy (Jeff Goldblum) decides that he wants the item for himself.
Foster’s character explains, “This hospital was built on two things: trust and rules.” The hospital’s rules are explained in the trailer: don’t insult the staff, no weapons are allowed on the hospital’s premises and visitors aren’t allowed to kill other patients. After intense clips are shown of characters fighting and attempting to escape, the trailer concludes with Foster’s character proclaiming, “Busy night at the Artemis.”
