A24 has given us some of the best horror movies of the past few years, and they have another one on the way! Ayo Edebiri and John Malkovich have landed lead roles in Mark Anthony Green’s promising new horror Opus.
A24 is keeping details under wraps, and they’ve only revealed this film will center on an iconic pop star’s return following his decades-long disappearance. The-Dream and Nile Rodgers, who collaborated on Beyonce’s “Cuff It”, will pen original songs for the film, in addition to serving as its executive producers.
The list of film’s producers includes Collin Creighton and Brad Weston for Makeready, Poppy Hanks and Jelani Johnson for Macro Film Studios, and Josh Bachove, with Charles D. King and Sara Newkirk Simon serving as executive producers.
In addition to The Bear actress Edebiri and the two-time Oscar nominee Malkovich, this film will also star Murray Bartlett (The White Lotus), Amber Midthunder (Prey), Stephanie Suganami (Power Book II: Ghost), Young Mazino (Beef), and Tatanka Means (Killers of the Flower Moon), with Juliette Lewis (Yellowjackets) in talks to join them.
Opus received an interim agreement from SAG-AFTRA to kick off production before the organization announced the end of the actors’ strike and it will mark the feature debut of its writer/director Mark Anthony Green.
