Jeremy Saulnier is hotter than ever after his Netflix film, Rebel Ridge. His next project is with A24 and has remained something of a mystery. But we’re starting to learn more now, such as the title, October, and even the film’s star, Cory Michael Smith.
According to Deadline, Smith will star in Saulnier’s next film, October, described as a “fugitive thriller set around Halloween.” Saulnier wrote the script and will direct with plans to shoot this fall. October reunites Saulnier with A24, which he worked with previously on Green Room.
Smith’s breakthrough was his role as Edward Nygma aka The Riddler on Gotham. He recently starred as the richest man in the world in Jesse Armstrong’s HBO film, Mountainhead, and played Chevy Chase in Jason Reitman’s Saturday Night. This could be the film that makes more of a leading player than a supporting one.
