‘Insidious’ Starlette Eyed For ‘The Something’
Insidious star Rose Byrne, pictured, is being courted to reteam with Neighbors‘ producers (Seth Rogen’s Point Grey Pictures, Good Universe) and studio (Universal) for The Something, says THR.
The pic, about astronauts who get lost in space, has former “Late Show With David Letterman” head writer Rodney Rothman directing.
The Aussie is being eyed by Something‘s producers to play a love interest who has “an approachable beauty, though she hates being approached.”
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.”
