Bella Thorne Making Her Directorial Debut on an Untitled Thriller
I’m not the biggest fan of Bella Thorne the actress, but maybe she’ll deliver something special from behind the camera?
Thorne, who has starred in everything from the “Scream” series to The Babysitter, I Still See You, Assassination Nation, Keep Watching, and Amityville: The Awakening, is directing a thriller written by Zander Coté, the plot of which is being kept under wraps, reports Deadline.
Thorne is also planning to take a supporting role in the film which will shoot this coming summer.
The site notes that Thorne is also a best-selling author, director, philanthropist musician and entrepreneur who has built an empire that stretches from acting to various entrepreneurial ventures and philanthropic endeavors.
Eric B. Fleischman’s Defiant Studios, David Bernon of Burn Later Productions, and Maurice Fadida of Kodiak Pictures will produce collectively.
In addition to Leigh Whannell’s upcoming Universal Monsters movie Wolf Man, Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel) has also joined the cast of Weapons, THR has announced tonight.
Weapons is the new horror movie from New Line Cinema and director Zach Cregger (Barbarian), with Julia Garner joining the previously announced Josh Brolin (Dune 2).
The upcoming Weapons is from writer/director Zach Cregger, who will also produce alongside his Barbarian producing team: Roy Lee of Vertigo and J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules of BoulderLight Pictures. Vertigo’s Miri Yoon also produces.
The Hollywood Reporter teases, “Plot details for Weapons are being kept holstered but it is described as a multi and inter-related story horror epic that tonally is in the vein of Magnolia, the 1999 actor-crammed showcase from filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson.”
Cregger was a founding member and writer for the New York comedy troupe “The Whitest Kids U’Know,” which he started while attending The School of Visual Arts. The award-winning group’s self-titled sketch comedy show ran for five seasons on IFC-TV and Fuse. He was also a series regular on Jimmy Fallon’s NBC series “Guys with Kids” and the TBS hit series “Wrecked,” and was featured in a recurring role on the NBC series “About a Boy.”
Weapons will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
