More Casting for Supernatural ‘Chronicle’
Michael Kelly (Dawn of the Dead, Unbreakable, The Adjustment Bureau) has landed the father role in 20th Century Fox’s supernatural thriller Chronicle, slated for release next year, reports Variety.
The pic, produced by John Davis, will also star relative newcomers Michael B. Jordan, Dane DeHaan, Alex Russell and Ashley Hinshaw.
Josh Trank will make his directorial debut with the Max Landis-penned project.
Studio is being unusually secretive about the film and has not released a logline, though sources tell Variety that the story centers on “three Portland teens who develop powers from exposure to a mysterious substance.”
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.”
