‘Ready or Not’ Trailer Plays a Hilariously Bloody Game of Hide and Seek!
We’ve found the first trailer for Fox Searchlight’s Ready or Not, the latest horror offering from Radio Silence (who directed the “10/31/98” segment in our V/H/S as well as wrap story in our Southbound).
The film follows a young bride (Samara Weaving) as she joins her new husband’s (Mark O’Brien) rich, eccentric family (played by Adam Brody, Henry Czerny, and Andie MacDowell) in a time-honored tradition that turns into a lethal game with everyone fighting for their survival.
The game they play is Hide and Seek (hence the title Ready or Not), and the trailer promises not only buckets of blood, but tons of laughs. Looking like a horror version of Clue, the sets are extravagant, the costume design is stupendous, and Weaving (“Ash vs Evil Dead”, Mayhem, The Babysitter) looks like she’s going to put on a superstar performance (because she is a superstar).
Tyler Gillett and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin directed with Chad Villella executive producing.
The film will be released by Fox Searchlight on August 23, 2019.
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.”
