‘Bodies Bodies Bodies’ Writer to Pen ‘Single White Female’ Remake Starring Jenna Ortega & Taylor Russell
Sarah DeLappe (Bodies Bodies Bodies) has been tapped to write the screenplay for Single Female, a remake of 1992’s Single White Female, Deadline reports.
Jenna Ortega (“Wednesday”) and Taylor Russell (Bones and All) will star in the psychological thriller from Sony’s 3000 Pictures.
Stacey Sher (The Hateful Eight, Heretic) and Marisa Paiva are set to produce alongside Ortega and Russell.
Based on John Lutz’s 1990 novel SWF Seeks Same, Single White Female follows a woman advertising for a new roommate who finds that something very strange is going on with the tenant who decides to move in.
Directed by Barbet Schroeder and written by Don Roos, the surprise hit helped make stars out of Bridget Fonda and Jennifer Jason Leigh.

Sunrise Films has announced the official North American release of William Bagley‘s horror comedy Hold the Fort, and it’s accompanied by an energetic new trailer.
Hold the Fort debuts on digital platforms on June 23.
In the film, “Lucas and Jenny think their life is finally coming together when the couple become homeowners. Little do they know that their new house comes with a big catch. Lucas and Jenny soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when they become trapped in a battle between their Homeowners Association and an onslaught of monsters from hell. The horror-comedy takes the timely concern of home-ownership and wraps this up in an entertaining action-packed thrill ride.“
Watch the new trailer below, which introduces one wild HOA gathering during an equinox. Things get bloody fast.
Chris Mayers (Adult Swim Yule Log), Haley Leary (“The Walking Dead”), Levi Burdick, and Julian Smith star.
William Bagley writes and directs, in addition to producing with Smith, Matt Dodd, Luke Williams, and Tim Reis (Adult Swim Yule Log).
Ahead of the release, Bagley said, “My goal with this film was to make a hilarious, fast-paced thrill ride while also telling a great story with heart. Hopefully, through all the blood, laughs, fights, and gags, you leave the film feeling inspired to tackle whatever life throws at you.“
Hold the Fort premiered at Fantasia last summer before going on to play FrightFest London, Toronto After Dark, and Beyond Fest.
I wrote in my review, “It’s an infectiously charming assemblage of jokes and monster vignettes bound together by a barebones plot with not much on its mind beyond delivering an entertaining time.”
