The project will be produced by produced by Rian Johnson and Ram Bergman’s T-Street banner.
The project reunites Gordon-Levitt with T-Street’s Johnson and Bergman. Gordon-Levitt starred in Johnson’s 2005 debut “Brick” and 2012’s “Looper,” while Bergman produced Gordon-Levitt’s 2013 directorial debut “Don Jon.”
T-Street’s third “Knives Out” film, “Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery,” hits theaters Nov. 26 before streaming on Netflix Dec. 12.
McAdams will next be seen in Disney’s film “Send Help,” directed by Sam Raimi. McAdams is best known for her star-making turns in “Mean Girls,” “The Notebook,” “About Time,” “Disobedience,” “Spotlight,” “Game Night,” “Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret” and on stage in “Mary Jane.”
McAdams is repped by WME, Magnolia Entertainment and attorney Howard Fishman.
