A24 Tells Ghost Story ‘The Eternal Daughter’ with Tilda Swinton!
A24 has cemented itself as the home of arthouse horror and continues to work tirelessly at acquiring fresh films that are completely off everyone’s radar. Next up is a high profile ghost story shot in secret in Wales during lockdown.
The Eternal Daughter re-teams Oscar-winner Tilda Swinton with director Joanna Hogg after they recently collaborated on lauded Sundance movie The Souvenir and the upcoming The Souvenir Part 2, which will debut later this year, reports Deadline.
“The mystery-drama, currently in post-production, will chart the story of a middle-aged daughter and her elderly mother who must confront long-buried secrets when they return to their former family home, a once-grand manor that has become a nearly vacant hotel brimming with mystery.”
The cast also includes Joseph Mydell, Carly Davies and Alfie Sankey-Green.
Martin Scorsese serves as executive producer.
Swinton is a chameleon of an actor who has celebrated the horror genre, having starred in Luca Guadagnino’s Suspiria remake, Jim Jarmusch’s Only Lovers Left Alive, and even Constantine alongside Keanu Reeves.
This weekend, A24 blesses us with the release of Saunt Maud. Former releases include The Witch, The Blackcoat’s Daughter, The Lighthouse, Midsommar and Hereditary.
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.”
