‘Glorious’ Traps Ryan Kwanten & J.K. Simmons in a Rest Stop Bathroom
AMP International has launched sales on Glorious, a new horror movie that stretches out at a rest stop where Ryan Kwanten (“True Blood”, Dead Silence, The Knights of Badassdom) and Oscar winner J.K. Simmons (Whiplash, Spider-Man) are trapped in a bathroom, reports Deadline.
“Kwanten plays a young man who is spiraling out of control after a bad breakup. His situation worsens after he finds himself locked inside a rest stop bathroom with a mysterious figure (J.K. Simmons) speaking to him from an adjacent stall. As he tries to escape, he realizes he is an unwilling player in a situation bigger than he could have imagined.”
Rebekah McKendry (All the Creatures Were Stirring) directs from a script by Todd Rigney, Joshua Hull and David Ian McKendry.
The film is quietly nearing completion.
Producers are Bob Portal and Inderpal Singh from AMP, Joe Wicker and Morgan Peter Brown from Fallback Plan Productions, Jason Scott Goldberg and Christian Armogida.
The film is a co-production with Fallback Plan, in association with Mississippi-based Eyevox Entertainment, with Rick Moore from Eyevox serving as executive producer, alongside James Norrie and Nina Kolokouri at AMP. Other executive producers are Ryan Kwanten, Barbara Crampton, Mark Cartier, Gaba Gavi and Kevin Kale, with Jessica Taylor as an associate producer.
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.”
