Locked sees Bill Skarsgård and Anthony Hopkins on the silver screen
Locked follows small-time thief Eddie (played by Skarsgård) as he goes through hoops to escape his big-time problems. He thinks he's won big after breaking into a luxury SUV, only to realize he's fallen for an elaborately set ruse from vigilante William (played by Hopkins!) whose wicked brand of justice proves to be oppressive in every way.
Getting into a car is one thing, getting out of a locked one is a different thing altogether. Contraptions trap Eddie in, and he's left with only his wit and grit to help him survive, all the while William watches every move. Only one person can make it out alive in this high-stakes, tension-filled thriller.

"Together, they are electric! I’m deeply grateful to both of them, as well as to Sam Raimi, for being such incredible creative partners and for trusting me to steer the ship," he added.
