UPDATE: [SXSW ’12] New ‘Girls Against Boys’ Clip Ties You To The Bed
Austin Chick’s Girls Against Boys premiered at Austin’s SXSW Film Festival on Friday, and there’s a new clip (or compendium of clips, rather) that might make you want to re-think those handcuffs in your bedside drawer. It’s a controversial movie, so it will be interesting to see what kind of distribution it lands.*
*Update: K5 Films has taken on international sales for the project. Per Deadline, “The film joins other titles on K5′s upcoming Cannes slate including Vehicle 19 with Paul Walker; Bille August’s ‘Night Train To Lisbon’ and Dakota Fanning and Elizabeth Olsen starrer ‘Very Good Girls’.”
The film, starring Nicole LaLiberte (Kaboom, Dinner For Schmucks) and Danielle Panabaker (Friday The 13th (2009), Piranha 3DD), is “a psychological thriller about two girls on a killing spree. With edgy and ironic humor and a darkly meditative tone, it is also a coming-of-age story about a girl learning how the world really works.”

Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
