Amanda Seyfried in Talks for Netflix and ‘American Splendor’ Duo’s Horror Film ‘Things Heard & Seen’
Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini (American Splendor) wrote and will be directing Things Heard & Seen for Netflix, and THR reports tonight that Amanda Seyfried (Jennifer’s Body) is in talks to star. The film is being described as a “supernatural thriller.”
In other words, it’s a horror movie.
“The story centers on a young couple who move onto a farm near a small town in upstate New York. The couple’s new home is cursed by the murder of its former owners and as haunted secrets reveal themselves, the husband and wife’s own marriage reveals itself to have a darkness of its own.”
THR notes, “Seyfried will play the wife who is struggling to adjust to the small-town life and who comes to believe her house is haunted.”
The movie is an adaptation of Elizabeth Brundage’s novel All Things Cease to Appear.
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.”
