‘The Prodigy’ Poster Teases an Evil That Pulls the Family’s Strings
With a new trailer promised for tomorrow, Orion Pictures debuted a brand new poster for The Prodigy, opening in theaters on February 8, 2019.
“Orange is the New Black’s” Taylor Schilling plays Sarah, a mother whose young son Miles’ (IT‘s Jackson Robert Scott) disturbing behavior signals that an evil, possibly supernatural force has overtaken him. Fearing for her family’s safety, Sarah must grapple with her maternal instinct to love and protect Miles in favor of investigating what – or who – is causing his dark turn. She is forced to look for answers in the past, taking the audience on a wild ride; one where the line between perception and reality remains blurry.
Pulling from classics such as The Omen and Bad Seed, the poster for The Pact‘s Nicholas McCarthy‘s thriller shows the two stars in a family portrait – with a pair of mysterious hands resting on Schilling’s shoulders. Who is pulling this family’s strings and what is wrong with Miles?
RELATED: The Prodigy movie may have a scene so scary, it forced the filmmakers to re-edit it.
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.”
