Magnolia Nabs Sexy Werewolf Horror ‘Jack and Diane’
Quietly going into production, Magnolia Pictures has acquired the worldwide rights to Jack and Diane, written and directed by Bradley Rust Gray. Kylie Minogue, Juno Temple, Riley Keough and Cara Seymour all star.
No release details yet, but expect a limited theatrical run, along with a VOD/DVD launch.
“Jack and Diane, two teenage girls, meet in New York City and spend the night kissing ferociously. Diane’s charming innocence quickly begins to open Jack’s tough-skinned heart. But when Jack discovers that Diane is leaving the country in a week, she tries to push her away. Diane struggles to keep their love alive while hiding a secret that her newly awakened sexual desire is turning her into a werewolf.”
Minogue and Temple share a little girl on girl action. I haven’t been this excited since Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried locked lips in Jennifer’s Body.
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
