Guy Who Wrote ‘The Roommate’ Really Branching Out With ‘The Crush’!
I never saw The Roommate. It could literally be my favorite movie if I ever get around to it. But I probably won’t, because everyone I trust disliked it intensely. But that hasn’t stopped Sonny Mallhi from returning to what is emerging to be his canvas, obsession, in The Crush.
Per The Hollywood Reporter, “Described as being a cross between ‘Cruel Intentions’ and ‘Misery’, the story centers on a star high school athlete who becomes the focus of an admirer’s obsession. He soon discovers the innocent crush has turned dangerous and deadly.”
Sound familiar?
Casting is currently in process and Malik Bader (Street Thief) is set to direct. The film is being financed and produced by Intrepid.
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.”
