White Elephant, the holiday horror film starring Nick Jonas (Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle) and Kathryn Newton (Ready or Not 2: Here I Come), has rounded out its cast.
Deadline reports that KJ Apa (“Riverdale”), Madeleine Arthur (Color Out of Space), Josh Brener (“Silicon Valley”), Ashley Park (“Emily in Paris”), Alexandra Shipp (Tragedy Girls), and Justice Smith (I Saw the TV Glow) have been cast.
Eli Craig (Tucker and Dale vs Evil, Clown in a Cornfield) directs from a script he co-wrote with JT Billings (“Are You Afraid of the Dark?”). Radio Silence (Ready or Not, Scream 5-6) is producing.
Now in production, the logline reads: “Eight friends. One prize. Zero trust. Their annual festive holiday gift exchange spirals into a cutthroat game of Christmas carnage.”
The project is the first under MRC’s partnership with Radio Silence and Project X, dubbed RSPX, oriented around inventive and engaging horror and thriller projects.
Spencer Berman, Nick Jonas, William Sherak, Paul Neinstein, James Vanderbilt, Tyler Gillett, and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin are producing, with Billings, Newton, Ryan McDonough, Amanda Drake, Scott Levine, and Chad Villella executive producing.
