He starts working for a Japanese “rental family” company to play various stand-in roles in other people’s lives. Along the way, he forges some surprising human connections and discovers unexpected joys within his built-in family.
Marking Fraser’s first starring role since his Oscar-winning performance in Darren Aronofsky’s The Whale (2022), the actor said at Deadline’s Red Sea Studio, “I couldn’t resist making this film for the opportunity to work there and to also blaze a trail. I think more and more productions are likely going start working their way towards shooting in Japan, considering there’s the production value.”
Directed by Hikari from a script she wrote with Stephen Blahut, Rental Family also stars Mari Yamamoto.
In Psycho Killer, written by Andrew Kevin Walker and directed by Gavin Polone, police officer Jane Thorne (Georgina Campbell) makes it her mission to take down a serial killer referred to on the news as the ‘Satanic Slasher’, following the murder of her state trooper husband (Logan Miller).
