Actors Hayley Law and Keith Powers were announced as lead roles in the film Door Mouse. Directed and written by Avan Jogia, Door Mouse is a thriller about characters navigating corruption and injustice.

Hayley Law, best known for her role as Valerie Brown in Riverdale, will be playing Mouse in Avan Jogia’s film Door Mouse. Alongside Law, Keith Powers, known for his role as Ronnie DeVoe in The New Edition Story, will play the role of Ugly.

According to Deadline Hollywood, the film is a thriller that focuses on the character Mouse, who lives a dull life. Since Mouse is working at a job she does not enjoy, Mouse’s boss encourages her to live out her dream of writing comics. Doe-Eyes, Mouse’s friend from work, ends up disappearing one day, but the cops do not help with investigating. With the help of her sidekick, Ugly, Mouse tries to uncover the mystery of Doe-Eyes’ disappearance.

Last year, Avan Jogia took to Twitter to give his own description of the film. Avan Jogia tweeted, “Door Mouse is a film I’ve written and am directing about the abuses of power, the corrosion of morality and a heroine who decides to stand up for herself and her community.” Jogia also emphasized that the film is about coffee and dread.

One Twitter user posted a TikTok of Avan Jogia describing his experience pitching and selling his film Door Mouse by using a visual guide called a lookbook. Quoting the TikTok of Avan Jogia, Keith Powers told his fans that he “was in love” with the lookbook the director created.
