Nocturna Pictures, the terrifying film imprint conjured earlier this year by Skydance in collaboration with the visionary filmmakers behind 'It,' Andy and Barbara Muschietti, is helming the chilling production of 'They Will Kill You.' Adding star power to this spine-tingling tale, Patricia Arquette and Tom Felton have gracefully joined the cast, bringing their remarkable talents to the horror realm.
New Line Cinema stands as a co-financier and distributor of this ominous feature, which is set to commence filming in mid-September under the deft direction of Kirill Sokolov. At the forefront of this macabre narrative stands Zazie Beetz, portraying a woman who innocently responds to a housekeeping job advertisement in a mysterious New York City skyscraper, unaware that she's stepping into a community shrouded in decades of disappearances and potentially under the sinister grasp of a Satanic cult. This project is a harmonious blend of the tense thrills of 'Ready or Not' and the relentless action of 'The Raid,' laced with dark humor that will keep audiences on the edge of their seats.
Arquette, an Academy Award recipient for her profound performance in Richard Linklater's epic 'Boyhood,' now dazzles in the Apple TV+ series 'Severance,' a masterpiece directed and produced by Ben Stiller. Her prestigious resume also boasts roles in Apple's crime comedy 'High Desert' and notable performances in Showtime's Stiller-directed miniseries 'Escape at Dannemora' and Hulu's gripping 'The Act.' In 'They Will Kill You,' she takes on the pivotal role of the cooperative's head, further solidifying her status as a force to be reckoned with in prestige television.
Felton, renowned for his iconic portrayal of Draco Malfoy in the beloved 'Harry Potter' franchise, adds another layer of intrigue to the film as a member of the cult. He recently embarked on a sci-fi adventure with Finnish filmmaker Timo Vuorensola's 'Altered.'
With a script penned by Sokolov and Alex Litvak, the production is a collaborative effort brought to life by Skydance's David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Don Granger, alongside the Muschiettis and former Orion executive Dan Kagan, who produced the horror hit 'Longlegs.' Executive producers Russell Ackerman, John Schoenfelder, Sokolov, Litvak, and Carl Hampe oversee Nocturna's ominous endeavors.
As the cast and crew prepare to delve into the depths of this terrifying tale, audiences worldwide eagerly await the unveiling of 'They Will Kill You,' a horror masterpiece that promises to leave an indelible mark on the cinematic landscape.
