[Trailer] From the Writer of ‘Let the Right One In’ Comes Another Fantasy Love Story, ‘Border’
Based on a short story by the author of Let the Right One In, John Ajvide Lindqvist, director Ali Abbasi‘s Border has been a massive hit on the festival scene, winning the prestigious Un Certain Regard award at Cannes earlier this year. Neon will be releasing the film on October 26, and they’ve premiered the must-watch trailer this week.
In Border, a boldly unique fantasy love story…
“After a customs officer develops a strange attraction to the suspect she’s investigating, the case’s revelations soon call into question her entire existence.”
Border is the second feature from Iranian-born Danish director Abbasi, who co-wrote the screenplay with Isabella Eklöf, in collaboration with Lindqvist.
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.”
