New ‘Scream’ Directors Also Tackling Thriller ‘The Ice Beneath Her’ With Daisy Ridley (‘Star Wars’)
Some huge news to kick off the week with Star Wars’ Daisy Ridley reportedly in negotiations to star in psychological crime-thriller The Ice Beneath Her, reports Deadline.
The big news is that the film is to be directed by Ready or Not‘s Radio Silence (pictured below), who recently found themselves attached to helm the next Scream. The filmmakers also directed one of the segments in Bloody Disgusting’s V/H/S and headed our Southbound anthology.
“The story revolves around a detective and psychological profiler who work to solve the case after a young woman is found beheaded in the home of a prominent businessman. The investigation quickly evolves into a race against time.”
With its unreliable narrator, Swedish author Camilla Grebe’s bestselling 2015 novel is similar in tone to Gone Girl and The Girl On the Train, explains the site.
STX (The Boy, Brahms: The Boy II) won a bidding war for world rights and will finance the project, which has Andrew Lazar (American Sniper) producing.
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.”
