Sarah Michelle Gellar (Ready or Not 2: Here I Come) is the Grim Reaper and Rudy Pankow (“Outer Banks”) is the Devil in supernatural romance Thud, Deadline reports this week.
Mali Elfman (Next Exit) is directing the film, with Radio Silence producing.
Deadline details, “Based on an original screenplay by Noga Pnueli (Meet Cute), Thud watches as the Grim Reaper and the Devil meet cute at a three-day destination wedding, falling in love after colliding at the event, where they’ve each come to sow their own chaos.”
Tyler Gillett and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin are producing Thud for Radio Silence. The project marks a reunion between the filmmaking team and Sarah Michelle Gellar after Ready or Not 2.
Deadline notes that Thud will shoot in Los Angeles “with a California tax credit.”
Mali Elfman directed the animated short The Scariest Skeleton, and she’s also produced horror films including Queens of the Dead, Haunting of Queen Mary, and Birth/Rebirth.
Mali Elfman is the daughter of legendary composer/musician Danny Elfman.
