Poster Prepares to ‘Pledge’ This Coming January
A dark tradition becomes a game of torment in Daniel Robbins‘ thriller Pledge, which releases in limited theaters and on VOD platforms January 11, 2019.
Pledge promises to take a centuries-old American tradition to new extremes and explore the power dynamics that have led to so many deaths on American campuses. The new poster hopes to join the tradition.
Meagan reviewed the film out of its Fantasia World Premiere and explained that:
“Pledge delivers twisted thrills to a familiar story.”
Produced by New York-based Stag Pictures in association with BoulderLight Pictures (Dismissed, Bad Match), the film stars Zack Weiner (Uncaged), Phillip Botello (“Criminal Minds”) and Zachery Byrd (“Blindspot”) as nerdy freshmen pitted against menacing frat bros Cameron Cowperthwaite (“American Horror Story: Cult”), Aaron Dalla Villa (“Duels”), and Jesse Pimentel (“Resident Evil 7: Biohazard”).
FEW GET IN. NONE GET OUT: Pledge would make any freshman think twice about joining Greek life…
Maika Monroe (Longlegs) and director David Robert Mitchell are reuniting for It Follows sequel They Follow, and Deadline brings us the latest casting news this week.
Jackie Earle Haley (Little Children, A Nightmare on Elm Street), Justine Lupe (Succession), Anna Mirodin (Ivan), Jayne Taini (Unbelievable), Michael Gandolfini (Daredevil: Born Again), Tom Pecinka (Stereophonic), Melora Walters (Magnolia), Ben Krieger (Song Sung Blue), Natalie Shinnick (The Brutalist) and Jan Hoag (The Fabelmans) have joined the cast this week.
Naomi Ackie (Blink Twice) has also been confirmed to join They Follow.
Deadline notes in their report this afternoon, “Plot details for the long-anticipated sequel are under wraps, other than it taking place a decade after the events of the original film.”
They Follow is expected to enter production this Summer. Stay tuned for updates.
In the first movie, Maika Monroe’s Jay Height is a young woman followed by an unknown supernatural force after a sexual encounter. In the sequel, the threat is now EVERYWHERE.
“It’s very dark,” Monroe recently teased. “We’re pushing the boundaries on this one for sure.”
“It’s very different from the original,” Monroe told Discussing Film. “The original is a little more heightened and dramatic, and this is really quite grounded and follows the story of these two women that are mentally dealing with a lot. I thought it was really an interesting take on it.”
NEON and Good Fear Content are producing They Follow.
They Follow will feature a new score from Disasterpeace.
