Allison Williams (M3GAN) and Michelle Randolph (Scream 7) are set to star in the sci-fi survival thriller Homewrecker, Deadline has learned.
Xavier Gens (Under Paris, Frontier(s)) will direct from a script by Elisa Bell (Vegas Vacation) and Travis Gordon, which has been likened in spirit to 10 Cloverfield Lane.
In the film, during a heart-breaking domestic revelation, three star-crossed Americans are suddenly forced to work together to survive a terrifying unexplained global event that threatens to destroy life as they know it.
Producers include Denise Di Novi, Margaret French Isaac, & Oliver Scherick for Di Novo Pictures (Practical Magic) and John Zois & Warren Goz for Parallel 42 Entertainment.
Williams will executive produce alongside Michael Rothstein & Samuel Hall for North.Five.Six, which is launching sales at next week’s Cannes film market. CAA Media Finance and UTA Independent Film Group co-rep domestic rights.
“I found the script riveting, and it had a depth that continued shifting and revealing itself as I read,” said Williams. “Then, knowing Xavier’s work, I was very eager to work with this talented filmmaker. I’m grateful to be part of this team and this project.”
“I was immediately drawn to how Homewrecker blends psychological tension with something deeply character-driven,” added Randolph. “It has a kind of intensity and unpredictability that makes it such a compelling project. I’m so excited to be part of this with Allison and Xavier.”
“I’m thrilled to explore American mythology from a uniquely intimate point of view,” Gens commented. “I can’t wait to share the set with Allison Williams and Michelle Randolph and push the boundaries of humanity further than I’ve ever gone before.”
Homewrecker is due to enter production in France in mid-July.
