Radio Silence, who Bloody Disgusting readers should remember as the directors of the “10/31/98” segment in V/H/S and the wraparound story in our Southbound (below), will be directing a new horror film for Fox Searchlight.
Variety reports that Australian actress Samara Weaving (pictured above) has been set for the lead role in Fox Searchlight’s upcoming thriller Ready or Not, which is scheduled to shoot in the fall.
The Radio Silence directing team of Tyler Gillett and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin is helming (Radio Silence’s Chad Villella will executive produce) from a script by Guy Busick and Ryan Murphy about a young woman (Weaving) who is invited on the night of her wedding by her new husband’s rich, eccentric family to participate in a time-honored tradition that turns into a lethal game with everyone fighting for their survival.
Weaving has been blowing up on the horror scene having starred in everything from “Ash vs. Evil Dead” to stealing all the scenes in both McG’s The Babysitter and Joe Lynch’s Mayhem.
Tripp Vinson is producing via his banner, Vinson Films. James Vanderbilt, Bradley Fischer, and William Sherak of Mythology Entertainment are also producing. Executive producers are Tara Farney, Tracey Nyberg.
