Back in April, it was announced that genre regular Isabelle Fuhrman – whose credits include Orphan, Orphan: First Kill, and The Last Thing Mary Saw, among others – would be starring in a cat and mouse thriller called Unit 234… which was already filming in the Cayman Islands by the time the announcement was made. We later heard that Fuhrman was joined in the cast by Don Johnson (Miami Vice), a great co-star to have. Now Radiant Films Intl. has unveiled (via Variety) the first image of Fuhrman in the movie, and you can see that image at the bottom of this article!
Directed by Andy Tennant (Sweet Home Alabama) from a screenplay by first-time feature writer Derek Steiner, Unit 234 sees Fuhrman taking on the role of Laurie Saltair, who discovers the comatose man, Clayton, in Unit 234 of her family’s storage facility, while working the night shift alone.

Fresh off Orphan: First Kill, Isabelle Fuhrman will next be starring in an upcoming thriller titled Unit 234, and Variety has shared a first look image courtesy of Radiant Films today.
Andy Tennant is directing the cat-and-mouse thriller.
In the film, “Laurie Saltair (Fuhrman) discovers the comatose man, Clayton, in Unit 234 of her family’s storage facility, while working the night shift alone. What transpires is a thrill ride of a cat-and-mouse game for Laurie and Clayton to survive the night.”
Jack Huston (“House of Gucci”) and Don Johnson (Knives Out). also star.
Derek Steiner wrote the script for Unit 234.
Blythe Frank, Hadeel Reda and Lee Dreyfus are producing alongside Productivity Media’s William G. Santor & Doug Murray, with Colleen Camp serving as executive producer.
If you’re looking for a really good movie to watch, make sure to check out Isabelle Fuhrman in The Novice, which quite frankly should have nabbed her an Oscar nomination.
