Loyalty is a rare thing in Hollywood and most will jump ship to greener pastures the second they get the chance. Not Ari Aster. Nope. Showing appreciation for believing in his Hereditary, Aster has set up his next horror offering over at A24. The film will be A24’s largest production to date, says Deadline, with an expected production start of late summer/early fall 2018. Lars Knudsen and B Reel will also produce.
The plot is being kept under wraps though it follows a young woman who reluctantly joins her boyfriend on a summer trip where things quickly go awry. A24 is currently in process of casting the film.
In theaters on June 8, 2018, Hereditary is being buzzed as the scariest horror film in years. Our own Fred Topel loved the film, calling it “psychologically and viscerally grueling,” while Trace proclaimed that it “rewards your patience with nightmare fuel.”
Hereditary centers on the Graham family, which begins to unravel following the death of their reclusive grandmother. Even after she’s gone, the matriarch still casts a dark shadow over the family — especially her loner teenage granddaughter, Charlie, with whom she always had an unusual fascination. As an overwhelming terror takes over their household, their peaceful existence is ripped apart, forcing their mother to explore a darker realm in order to escape the unfortunate fate they’ve inherited.
