Genre specialist A24 is launching development of their next horror movie, Bodies Bodies Bodies, written by “Cat Person” author Kristen Ropuenian, reports Variety.
Bodies Bodies Bodies is Roupenian’s foray into the screenwriting space. A24 did not disclose details of the story, other than saying it infuses a “fresh, incisive perspective” into the horror genre, mixing together elements of shrewd character study, mystery and deep-seeded scares. The company is behind several genre fairs including The Witch, Ex Machina, The Killing of a Sacred Deer, Green Room, The Monster, Under the Skin, and Blackcoat’s Daughter. This summer they’ll release Hereditary, which is being called one of the scariest films in years.
Ropuenian is the author of the popular New Yorker fiction story “Cat Person.” After being published in December, “Cat Person,” which follows a downhill relationship and delves into the dynamics of millennial dating, turned into a viral phenomenon and became the most-read fiction story the New Yorker published throughout all of 2017.
