Dimension Nabs ‘Compulsion’ Mid-Shoot
Dimension has acquired the US rights to the new thriller Compulsion, which stars Heather Graham (pictured inside; The Hangover, License To Drive), Carrie-Anne Moss (Suburbia, The Matrix), Joe Mantegna (“Criminal Minds”) and Kevin Dillon (“Entourage”, The Blob). The film is directed by Egidio Coccimiglio and was written by Floyd Byars.
The film, “is based on the South Korean film ‘301, 302’ and centers on two women occupying neighboring apartments, each grappling with obsessions that have begun to overtake their lives. Graham portrays Amy, a vivacious, calculating chef whose need to be desired is so far-reaching that she becomes a star in her own imaginary cooking show. Moss is Saffron, a reclusive but alluring ex-child star who is battling anorexia. Their complex, ever-intensifying relationship builds to a surprising climax as their emotional connections to food and one another boil over.”
It is currently shooting in Ontario, Canada.
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.
