Kristin Chenoweth Will Seduce ‘The Boy Next Door’
“Pushing Daises” and “Glee’s” Kristin Chenoweth is in negotiations to join Jennifer Lopez in Rob Cohen’s thriller The Boy Next Door, two individuals familiar with the Universal project have told TheWrap.
“Lopez stars as a single mom who has a lustful affair with a teenage neighbor who befriends her son. When she tries to end the relationship, trouble ensues.”
Chenoweth will play Lopez’s best friend.
Jason Blum is producing the movie under his Blumhouse banner.
Smart Entertainment’s John Jacobs is also producing the low-budget movie with Lopez’s manager Benny Medina and Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas of Lopez’s Nuyorican Productions banner. Zac Unterman will executive produce.
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.”
