EXCLUSIVE: Now You See Me and Together star Dave Franco is joining Talk To Me and Babygirl actress Sophie Wilde in alien invasion thriller, Soon You Will Be Gone And Possibly Eaten.
As we told you earlier this year, Egor Abramenko, the filmmaker behind A24’s upcoming horror film Altar and Russian sci-fi Sputnik, will direct from a script by Luke Piotrowski and Ben Collins, the writing team behind Hulu’s Hellraiser and Searchlight and Anton’s The Night House.
The script is based on the short story by Nick Antosca, creator-showrunner of Apple TV’s upcoming Cape Fear series starring Javier Bardem and Amy Adams. Production is earmarked for this summer.
The film was developed by Anonymous Content, Eat the Cat, and Divide/Conquer and is produced by Anonymous Content, Dawn Olmstead, Anton, Eat the Cat, and Divide/Conquer.
Anton is fully financing the film and handling worldwide rights and will continue pre-selling in Cannes. Domestic sales are being handled by Anton, Anonymous Content and WME Independent.
The movie will follow “Rob and Sabile, a young engaged couple, who head to a secluded mountain resort to take their vows and step into the new chapter of their shared lives. What was planned as a joyous wedding attended by family members takes a different turn when unexpected guests crash the ceremony”. Additional casting is in process.
Pic is produced by Sébastien Raybaud (Greenland 2) for Anton, Nick Antosca and Alex Hedlund for Eat the Cat (Murdaugh: A Death in the Family), Greg Gilreath and Adam Hendricks for Divide/Conquer (M3GAN), Nick Shumaker for Anonymous Content, and Dawn Olmstead. Anonymous Content’s David Levine (Nickel Boys) and Garrett Kemble are exec producers as is Anton’s Kathy Stocker.
Dave Franco is repped by WME and Anonymous Content.
