Clip From ‘Lyle,’ Another ‘Rosemary’s Baby’-esque Thriller
THR shares this first ever look from the new horror flick Lyle, which premieres July 12 at Outfest in Los Angeles.
The film follows a distraught couple as they grieve of the death of their daughter. Gaby Hoffmann (“Girls,” Obvious Child) plays Leah, a pregnant woman cut from the same cloth as Rosemary from Rosemary’s Baby. Ingrid Jungermann, Rebecca Street, Kim Allen, Michael Che and Ashlie Atkinson also star.
In the below clip, Hoffmann plays a worried partner and mother, as her daughter makes faces at a darkened door frame. “Honey, who are you talking to?” Leah asks.
She props herself up on her bed, forehead wrinkled with concern. “Lyle, stay in here.”
Lyle was written and directed by Stewart Thorndike, produced by Alex Scharfman, and is set to be the first of three upcoming female-focused horror films Thorndike has in the works.
Outfest runs July 10-20 in Los Angeles.
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.”
