Carrie Fisher Takes a Trip to ‘Sorority Row’
We broke the news the other day that “The Hills” star Audrina Patridge would be joining Summit Entertainment’s remake of THE HOUSE ON SORORITY ROW, which will simple go by Sorority Row when it hits theaters in 2009. This afternoon it was revealed that Carrie Fisher (Star Wars), Jamie Chung (Dragonball), Julian Morris (50 First Dates), Leah Pipes (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles) and Margo Harshman (Rise) have also joined the cast. Being directed by Stewart Hendler, the plot sees a group of sorority sisters try to cover up the death of their house-sister after a prank gone wrong, only to be stalked and killed by a serial killer. Fisher would play the sorority’s house mother. Chung and Patridge play two of the sisters who die sadistic deaths. Shooting set to start in early October in Pittsburgh.
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.”
