“Outer Banks” star Madelyn Cline is joining Johnny Depp and Penélope Cruz in the upcoming action thriller “Day Drinker.”

The Lionsgate movie is set to be directed by Marc Webb (“The Amazing Spider-Man,” Disney’s live-action “Snow White”), and follows a cruise ship bartender who meets a mysterious day drinker — only for both of them to find themselves entangled in a criminal underbelly and connected in unexpected ways.

Cline made her breakthrough starring in the smash hit Netflix series “Outer Banks,” for which she’ll reprise her role in the upcoming fifth and final season. She will next star in Sony’s “I Know What You Did Last Summer,” the franchise sequel from Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, and Amazon MGM’s big screen adaptation of “The Map That Leads to You.” She is represented by CAA, Entertainment 360, Bold Talent Agency, imPRint, and Hirsch Wallerstein Hayum Matlof and Fishman.

The film will be produced by Thunder Road’s Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee, who backed the “John Wick” franchise for Lionsgate. Additional producers include Adam Kolbrenner, whose credits include “The Tomorrow War” and “Free Guy,” and Zach Dean, who wrote the original spec screenplay and previously penned “Fast X” and “The Tomorrow War.” Kolbrenner and Dean’s latest film, “The Gorge” (for Apple TV+ and Skydance), debuts next week.

Depp’s company In.2 will also produce, as the project marks Depp’s return to Hollywood following his high-profile legal battles with ex-wife Amber Heard.

The film is executive produced by 30West. Chelsea Kujawa is overseeing the project for Lionsgate. Dan Freedman negotiated the deals for the studio.
