Dave Franco, who had the body horror Together last summer, and Sophie Wilde of Talk to Me, are teaming up for a new alien invasion thriller with a really cool name. Deadline reports they’ll star in Soon You Will Be Gone And Possibly Eaten, that will be hitting the Cannes market later this month.
The film will be written and directed by Egor Abramenko, known for the 2020 Russian sci-fi film Sputnik, and A24’s upcoming horror, Altar. He’ll direct from a script by Luke Piotrowski and Ben Collins (Hulu’s Hellraiser, The Night House), itself based on a short story Nick Antosca. Antosca is creator of Apple’s Cape Fear series remake.
According to the report, the film follows “Rob and Sabile, a young engaged couple, who head to a secluded mountain resort to take their vows and step into the new chapter of their shared lives. What was planned as a joyous wedding attended by family members takes a different turn when unexpected guests crash the ceremony.”
The film was developed by Anonymous Content, Eat the Cat, and Divide/Conquer and is produced by Anonymous Content, Dawn Olmstead, Anton, Eat the Cat, and Divide/Conquer.
Production on Soon You Will Be Gone And Possibly Eaten begins this summer.
Coming up for Franco is Dave Franco’s road trip comedy Idiots. He most recently starred in the magician heist sequel Now You See Me: Now You Don’t. Wilde will be seen next in Alejandro G. Inarritu’s Digger alongside Tom Cruise this October. She also snagged the lead role in the upcoming Watch Dogs movie based on the hit UbiSoft video games.
