June Pictures and B Story are saddling up for a May start on Thoroughbred, a psychological thriller that marks the directorial debut of playwright-screenwriter Cory Finley, Deadline writes.
“Bates Motel,” The Quiet Ones and Ouija‘s Olivia Cooke stars with Anya Taylor-Joy, coming off the success of The Witch, and Green Room‘s (now in theaters) Anton Yelchin.
Financed by June Pictures, “The film focuses on a volatile friendship between two suburban teenage girls who discover that a murder might solve both of their problems.”
June’s Alex Saks and Andrew Duncan are producing with B Story’s Kevin J. Walsh, Nat Faxon and Jim Rash. B Story’s Ryan Stowell will executive produce. The picture will shoot on the East Coast.
