Starring Maika Monroe as a rideshare driver who encounters a killer client played by Dane DeHaan, Veena Sud's The Stranger has found new life as a recut feature film following its release as a Quibi series back in 2020.
With this new version of The Stranger now streaming on Hulu, Daily Dead had the pleasure of speaking with Dane to discuss the revival of The Stranger, and he also reflected on playing a sociopathic killer who relishes in doing evil deeds, exploring the dangerous side of technology, and working with Maika Monroe and Veena Sud!

ABOUT THE STRANGER
From Veena Sud, acclaimed creator of THE KILLING comes an edge-of-your-seat ride through one life-changing night. New to Los Angeles, rideshare driver Clare (Maika Monroe, star of It Follows and Neon’s upcoming Longlegs) picks up Carl (Dane DeHaan, recently seen in Oppenheimer and star of HBO’s The Staircase) from a home deep in the Hollywood Hills. What begins as a routine ride turns into Clare’s worst nightmare: a twelve-hour fight for survival through the city’s seedy underbelly. Carl is not the passenger Clare thought he was, and Clare is not easy prey...Avan Jogia (Victorious, Now Apocalypse) also stars in this thriller, coming soon to Hulu as a new feature-length film.Directed by Veena Sud
