Aurora Perrineau Will Play ‘Truth or Dare’ for Blumhouse
Blumhouse is all about making everything scary, including party games, and in the wake of their Ouija films comes director Jeff Wadlow’s Truth or Dare.
The supernatural horror film has just rounded out its cast with Jem and the Holograms star Aurora Perrineau, Deadline reports today.
Perrineau also recently appeared in horror-comedy Freaks of Nature and Passengers.
The film centers on a college student in Mexico who is conned into playing a supernatural version of Truth or Dare. The game doesn’t stop and follows her and her friends back home.
Tyler Posey, Violett Beane, Lucy Hale, Nolan Gerard Funk, Hayden Szeto, and Sophia Taylor Ali also star.
Wadlow co-wrote the script with Chris Roach and Jillian Jacobs from a story by Michael Reisz, Wadlow, Roach and Jacobs. Micro-budget maven Jason Blum is producing with Wadlow, Roach and Blumhouse’s Couper Samuelson serving as exec producers.
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.”
