NEW YORK – March 10, 2025 – RLJE Films has announced the acquisition of NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH (formerly NOWHERE MEN), directed by Duncan Skiles (THE CLOVEHITCH KILLER) and starring Jeffrey Dean Morgan (The Walking Dead), Jack Quaid (The Boys), and Malin Akerman (WATCHMEN). The rights will cover North America with plans to release the film in theaters and on demand on April 25th, 2025.
In NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH, Simon (Quaid), a young man grappling with mental illness, becomes convinced that he has witnessed an abduction. When he reports it to the police and they refuse to believe him, he reluctantly seeks the help of his neighbor Ed (Morgan), a jaded, retired security guard with his own troubled past. As the unlikely duo delves deeper into the mystery, their pursuit of the truth forces them to confront not only the dark secrets surrounding the disappearance but also the unspoken wounds that haunt them both.
“I fell in love with NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH because of Ed and Simon’s unique relationship, which Jeff and Jack brought to life with remarkable grace and skill,” said director Duncan Skiles. “Our entire crew became fans of this improbable pair, creating an energy that touched every scene. We’re excited to bring this film to theaters and hope audiences connect with these characters as deeply as we have.”
Chief Acquisitions Officer of RLJE Films Mark Ward commented, “NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH sees Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Jack Quaid build on each other’s talents to unravel a suspenseful and surprising mystery, and Duncan Skiles has crafted a smart character-driven thriller that keeps you guessing. We can’t wait for viewers to unravel this unpredictable journey.”
NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH is written by Sean Farley and produced by Luke Daniels, Greg Lauritano, Vince Jolivette, Chris Bellant, Kurt Fethke, and Jake Robinson. The deal was negotiated by Mark Ward and Brandon Harmer of RLJE Films with the filmmakers.
