Get Out and M3GAN star Allison Williams and Michelle Randolph (Scream 7) are set to star in Homewrecker, an upcoming survival sci-fi thriller from French genre director Xavier Gens (Frontier(s), Under Paris).
Written by Elisa Bell (Vegas Vacation) and Travis Gordon, an official logline for Homewrecker reads:
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.
Deadline reports that the project has been likened by producers to Dan Trachtenberg's sci-fi thriller 10 Cloverfield Lane, and is due to start production in France in mid July of this year.
In an official statement, Williams outlined what drew her to the project:
“I found the script riveting, and it had a depth that continued shifting and revealing itself as I read. 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.”
Randolph, coming off the massive box office success of Kevin Williamson's Scream 7, adds:
“I was immediately drawn to how Homewrecker blends psychological tension with something deeply character-driven. 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.
Gens himself adds:
“I’m thrilled to explore American mythology from a uniquely intimate point of view. 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.”
Behind the scenes, Denise Di Novi (Crazy, Stupid, Love, Little Women, A Walk To Remember, Batman Returns, Heathers), Margaret French Isaac (Stepmom, The Fan) and Oliver Scherick will produce for DI NOVI PICTURES, with John Zois (Greenland franchise, Amazon’s “The Girlfriend”, The Night House) and Warren Goz (The Marksman, Copshop, Asphalt City) producing for PARALLEL 42 ENTERTAINMENT. Michael Rothstein and Samuel Hall will executive produce for NORTH.FIVE.SIX. (By Any Means, Regretting You, Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die, The Surfer, Locked), alongside Williams.
Look out for more on Homewrecker as we get it.
