‘High Tension’ Star Joins Eastwood’s ‘Hereafter’
Belgian actress Cecile de France has signed to star opposite Matt Damon in Clint Eastwood’s intriguing supernatural drama Hereafter for Warner Bros. The first details were revealed from the Peter Morgan penned screenplay; it tells the story of three people who are touched by death in different ways. De France, whose credits include High Tension and Russian Dolls, will portray a French journalist who has a near-death experience. Principal photography began last month on Hereafter, produced by Eastwood, Kathleen Kennedy and Robert Lorenz. Steven Spielberg, Frank Marshall, Peter Morgan and Tim Moore are the exec producers. Filming will take place in Paris, London, Hawaii and San Francisco. Pic is slated for release in December 2010. What do you guys think of this news? I’m getting more and more excited. I hope there’s a level of darkness to it, I really don’t want it to be a straight forward drama.
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.”
