‘Creep’ Director’s Horror-Comedy ‘Corporate Animals’ Set for August Release
Fresh off its premiere at Sundance earlier this year, Creep and Creep 2 director Patrick Brice‘s cannibalistic horror-comedy Corporate Animals was acquired by Screen Media, and we’ve learned today that they’ll be releasing the film in theaters and On Demand on August 9th!
The cast includes Demi Moore (G.I. Jane, Ghost), Jessica Williams (Booksmart, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald), Ed Helms (“The Office”, The Hangover), Karan Soni (Pokemon Detective Pikachu, Deadpool) and Nasim Pedrad (Aladdin, Despicable Me 2).
In the film, written by Sam Bain:
Lucy (Moore) is the delusional CEO of a struggling startup aimed at millennials. In her infinite wisdom, Lucy leads her staff, including her long-suffering assistants Jess (Williams) and Freddie (Soni), on a team building retreat in the caves of New Mexico led by an overeager guide (Helms). When disaster strikes and the food runs out, mandatory office bonding becomes a lot more… appetizing.
Jess Wu Calder, Keith Calder, Mike Falbo, and Ed Helms produced.
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.”
