Gothic Thriller ‘The Devil All the Time,’ Starring Tom Holland and Chris Evans, Finds a Home at Netflix
The incredible cast for The Devil All the Time only begins with Tom Holland and Chris Evans, we must note right off the bat, as it also includes Mia Wasikowska, Bill Skarsgård and Robert Pattinson. Now that we’ve established that, The Wrap reports today that the Antonio Campos-directed thriller has just been acquired by Netflix.
The Devil All the Time is “A midwestern gothic about a serial killer couple, a faith-testing preacher and a corrupt local sheriff.”
“In a place called Knockemstiff, Ohio, a forgotten backwoods of this country, where a storm of faith, violence and redemption is brewing. Out of desperation to save his dying wife, Willard Russell turns to prayer which succumbs to sacrifice. This sets protagonist Arvin, Willard’s son (Holland), on his path from bullied kid to a man who knows when to take action. “The Devil All the Time” involves a nefarious cast of characters that is told across two decades.”
Eliza Scanlen and Gabriel Ebert also star in the film.
The Devil All the Time is an adaptation of Donald Ray Pollock’s same-named 2011 novel. Antonio and Paulo Campos wrote the script. Jake Gyllenhaal is one of the producers.
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.”
