Production Begins On ‘Daniel Isn’t Real’ Starring Patrick Schwarzenegger

SpectreVision and ACE Pictures announced today that principal photography has begun in New York City on the film Daniel Isn’t Real, the second feature from writer/director Adam Egypt Mortimer (Some Kind of Hate). Patrick Schwarzenegger (“The Long Road Home”, Midnight Sun) and Miles Robbins (Blockers, David Gordon Green’s Halloween) star alongside Sasha Lane (American Honey, Hearts Beat Loud), and Hannah Marks (“Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency”). In Daniel Isn’t Real, “troubled college freshman Luke (Robbins) suffers a violent family trauma and resurrects his childhood imaginary friend Daniel (Schwarzenegger) to help him cope. Charismatic and full of manic energy, Daniel helps Luke to achieve his dreams, before pushing him to the very edge of sanity and into a desperate struggle for control of his mind — and his soul.” The film is based on the novel In This Way I Was Saved by Brian DeLeeuw who co-wrote the script with Mortimer.
