Being chosen to play this role is an honor, as is sharing the set with Gabriela Amaral, a truly unique director and wonderful team. I hope to offer a performance full of colors that overflows the screen.”

The plot follows a mother and daughter trapped in the panic room of their New York home, where recently divorced Meg Altman (Foster) and her daughter, Sarah (Stewart), play a deadly game of cat and mouse with three intruders: Burnham (Forest Whitaker), Raoul (Dwight Yoakam) and Junior (Jared Leto), during a brutal home invasion. But the room itself is the focal point because what the intruders really want is inside it.
