Hulu Acquires A24’s Horror Movie ‘False Positive’ for Streaming Premiere in 2021
Described as a contemporary take on Rosemary’s Baby, we had learned last year that Ilana Glazer (“Broad City,” pictured above) co-wrote and will star in a horror movie titled False Positive for A24, but it’s been a while since we’ve heard a peep about that project. Turns out, it’s now been acquired by Hulu, set to debut sometime next year as a Hulu Original movie.
Glazer co-wrote the script with John Lee, who directed False Positive.
Justin Theroux, Gretchen Mol, Sophia Bush, Josh Hamilton and Pierce Brosnan also star.
In the film, “After several attempts of trying and failing to get pregnant, Lucy (Glazer) and Adrian (Theroux) finally find their dream fertility doctor in the illustrious Dr. Hindle (Brosnan). But after becoming pregnant with a healthy baby girl, Lucy begins to notice something sinister through Hindle’s gleaming charm, and she sets out to uncover the unsettling truth about him, and her own “birth story.” As if getting pregnant weren’t complicated enough…”
The story is by John Lee & Alissa Nutting.
Dan Stevens is everywhere lately, from Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire to Abigail and the upcoming Cuckoo. We’re not complaining. Up next? He’s starring in horror movie The Ritual.
Al Pacino and Dan Stevens have both joined the cast of the upcoming exorcism horror movie from XYZ Films and director David Midell, Variety reports this afternoon.
Based on a true story, the film “follows two priests — one questioning his faith (Stevens) and one reckoning with a troubled past (Pacino) — who must put aside their differences to save a possessed young woman through a difficult and dangerous series of exorcisms.”
Variety details, “The film is an authentic portrayal of Emma Schmidt, an American woman whose demonic possession culminated in harrowing exorcisms. Her case remains the most thoroughly documented exorcism in American history.”
David Midell and Enrico Natale wrote the screenplay for The Ritual.
XYZ Films is planning to release the horror film theatrically in 2025.
