Members of Radio Silence Will Deliver a Nightmare Wedding With ‘Ready or Not’
What happens when the happiest day of your life becomes… the scariest?
Via THR, Fox Searchlight Productions has picked up the thriller package Ready or Not, with Tyler Gillett and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin of the filmmaking collective Radio Silence on board to direct. The group was behind the “10/31/98” segment of our own V/H/S, as well as the “Way Out” and “Way In” segments of our Southbound.
Gillett and Bettinelli-Olpin also directed 2014’s Devil’s Due.
“Ready or Not tells of a bride who, marrying into a wealthy gaming family, sees her wedding night turn deadly when the eccentric new in-laws force her into a bizarre and terrifying game of hide and seek.”
Guy Busick and Ryan Murphy wrote Ready or Not, with Tripp Vinson set to produce via his banner, Vinson Films. James Vanderbilt, Bradley Fischer and William Sherak of Mythology Entertainment are also producing. Executive producing are Tara Farney, Tracey Nyberg and Radio Silence’s Chad Villella.
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.”
