Brie Larson set for J.J. Abrams-produced creature feature Fail-Safe

May 18, 2025 by Gary Collinson

Captain Marvel star Brie Larson is set to team with producer J.J. Abrams for Fail-Safe, a creature feature horror which is being directed by JT Mollner (Strange Darling) from a script by Brian Duffield (No One Will Save You).

As per Deadline, Fail-Safe is described as “a modern take on the creature horror film told from the perspective of a young boy who slowly begins to discover that his beloved parents are hiding a disturbing secret about his mother’s true nature.”

“With Fail-Safe, Brian Duffield has written an absolute powerhouse of a script,” said Abrams. “It’s a horror film that is as sweet and moving as it is terrifying. To have JT Mollner in the director’s chair — his Strange Darling blew me away — is a dream come true. Finally, having the limitlessly talented Brie Larson as our star sets up Fail-Safe to be that rare horror film that makes you laugh, feel, and care, before taking you on an absolutely wild ride.”

“I’m beyond excited to see Brie take on this role – it’s frightening, emotionally charged, and so different from anything she’s done before,” added producer Drew Simon of Infrared. “The depth and intensity this character demands is immense, and I know Brie’s going to bring something unforgettable to the screen.”

Abrams’ Bad Robot will produce Fail-Safe alongside FilmNation Entertainment’s new production label Infrared, which is fresh off its first release, the Jack Quaid-led action thriller Novocaine.
