The psychological crime thriller Come With Me, starring Theo Rossi and Ron Perlman, has sold to Vertical Entertainment for North America. The film also has a trailer now, which THR can exclusively premiere below.
The movie will be released in select theaters on Sept. 4, Firebook Entertainment has unveiled alongside the sales news and the release of the first trailer.
Directed by Aaron Harvey from a screenplay that he co-wrote with Jonathan Croom, Come With Me follows Simon Ward (Rossi), a working-class man whose life unravels after a traumatic home invasion, mounting problems at work and the loss of his best friend.
“Falling under the influence of a rhetoric-spewing radio host, Simon spirals into a violent attempt to correct the injustice he believes surrounds him,” warns a synopsis. Perlman co-stars as Dalton Kirby, with Kate French, Chris Mullinax, Ronnie Gene Blevins, Jay Huguley, Marion Kerr, Michael Sirow and Barron Boedecker rounding out the cast.
Vertical Entertainment has acquired North American distribution rights. The deal was brokered by John Moss, CEO and owner of Firebook, which is handling worldwide sales on the film, produced by Demetrius Stear of A Mind’s Eye, Colin Bates of Dream Syndicate and Aaron Harvey of Michael Bruce Pictures.
“Vertical is the perfect home for this film,” said Moss. “Theo Rossi delivers a performance audiences are going to remember, and we can’t wait for them to experience it. This is a great win for Aaron, producer Demetrius Stear and everyone who poured themselves into making this movie.”

And Harvey explained: “Come With Me is a film about perception and paranoia, and it couldn’t be more relevant than in our current, content-laden landscape, where what we ingest creates and molds the person we become, for good or bad. To see Theo Rossi portray this struggle in such an incredible and intense way was a pleasure to have created with him, and we wanted to make a genuine reflection of how damaging rhetoric can be when fed into a susceptible mind.”
Firebook, based in Tulsa, focuses on “psychologically charged, high-tension thrillers.”
Rossi is currently on a roll. His crime drama biopic Bruton, directed by Vincent Grashaw, just world-premiered at the 79th edition of the Locarno Film Festival. He also stars in Kevin Hamedani’s The Saviors, opposite Adam Scott, which is set to hit theaters on March 26, 2027.
