**Los Angeles, CA** – Eddie Redmayne, fresh off his critically acclaimed performance in Peacock’s *Day of the Jackal*, has joined the star-studded cast of Warner Bros.’ upcoming thriller, *Panic Carefully*. He will star alongside Julia Roberts and Elizabeth Olsen in the film, directed and written by Sam Esmail, creator of the acclaimed series *Mr. Robot*.

Details about the plot remain under wraps, but the film is described as a paranoid thriller reminiscent of *Silence of the Lambs*, centering on the hunt for a cyber terrorist. The project reunites Esmail and Roberts following their successful collaboration on Netflix’s *Leave the World Behind*.

*Panic Carefully* secured a theatrical release after a competitive bidding war earlier this year, a significant factor in its appeal to filmmakers. The film is being produced by Esmail Corp., with Esmail and Chad Hamilton alongside Scott Stuber, Roberts, Marisa Yeres Gill, and Lisa Gillan. Kevin McCormick and Chrystal Li are overseeing for Warner Bros.

Redmayne’s recent success with *Day of the Jackal*, which saw him earn Golden Globe and Critics’ Choice nominations, further bolsters the film’s anticipated success. The actor, also an executive producer on the show, is currently nominated for a Tony Award for his Broadway revival of *Cabaret*. His impressive resume includes an Oscar win for his portrayal of Stephen Hawking in *The Theory of Everything*.
