Juliette Lewis Joins Elizabeth Banks & John C Reilly In Alex Prager’s ‘DreamQuil’; Kathryn Newton & Sofia Boutella Also Aboard

DEADLINE – Juliette Lewis has boarded Alex Prager’s alternative reality debut feature DreamQuil alongside the previously announced Elizabeth Banks and John C Reilly. Also confirmed as joining the project are Kathryn Newton and Sofia Boutella. The futuristic psychological thriller commenced principal photography in Los Angeles this week.

Set in the not so distant future, DreamQuil centers on Carol (Banks), a dissatisfied career mother, who is struggling to find real connection within her marriage to Gary (Reilly) and to her child.

Worried that she could be heading towards divorce, Carol leaps at the chance to get her life back on track by signing up for DreamQuil’s unconventional digital wellness retreat. However, things take a sinister turn upon Carol’s homecoming.

Lewis will play Nurse Chapman – the religious, no-nonsense nurse who oversees Carol’s retreat. Boutella will play Carol’s enigmatic neighbor and best friend, Rebecca, who is drawn to Carol and Gary’s seemingly idealistic family life. And Newton will take the role of Margo Case, a complex character torn between the natural urge to help humanity and the realization that she may be contributing to the dawn of a new Utopia.
