Bodies Bodies Bodies director Halina Reijn is plotting her next collaboration with A24, and its cast is shaping up to be amazing. Nicole Kidman and Antonio Banderas will lead the star-studded ensemble cast of Reijn’s promising new thriller Babygirl.

Written and directed by Reijn, Babygirl will center on a successful CEO who starts an illicit affair with her much younger intern. This film marks the second collaboration between A24 and Reijn, whose horror comedy was met with positive reviews and starred Amandla Stenberg, Maria Bakalova, Rachel Sennott, Lee Pace, and Pete Davidson.

The cast of Reijn’s next film will be even more star-studded, and it includes Nicole Kidman (Big Little Lies), Antonio Banderas (Pain and Glory) and Harris Dickinson (The Iron Claw), Sophie Wilde (Talk To Me), and Jean Reno (Léon: The Professional).

David Hinojosa of 2AM is producing the film alongside Reijn, while Julia Oh, Zach Nutman, and Christine D’Souza Gelb of 2AM are coming on board as executive producers.

Babygirl joins A24’s ever-expending slate of A-list projects, which also includes several more star-studded films announced in recent weeks, starting with Death of a Unicorn, starring Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega and Opus, led by Ayo Edebiri and John Malkovich.
