‘Heart Eyes' Gears Up with New Cast Members
The movie ‘Heart Eyes', which was announced earlier this month, has now added some big names to its crew. Jordana Brewster, who we all know from ‘The Fast and the Furious', Devon Sawa from the Final Destination series, and Gigi Zumbado of ‘The Price We Pay' fame have signed on to join the star-studded cast.
They'll be acting alongside Olivia Holt of ‘Totally Killer' and Mason Gooding from the popular ‘Scream' movies. Although details of their characters have not been revealed as yet, we've got some high hopes knowing the talent these actors bring with them!
Plotline Sneak Peek
The film, being shot in New Zealand, offers an interesting storyline. When the ‘Heart Eyes Killer' starts hunting in Seattle, two co-workers get mistaken as a couple. What's worse? This ordeal goes down on Valentine's Day! So, instead of being all mushy and romantic, these two co-workers, possibly played by Holt and Gooding, wind up fleeing for their lives.
A Movie Melding Genres
Josh Ruben, the director known for successful movies like ‘Werewolves Within' and ‘Scare Me', is guiding this movie. Excited about the blend of romantic comedy and brutal slasher genres, Ruben was quoted saying, “My love of horror is rivaled only by my love of romantic comedies. I'm excited as hell to mount my most challenging genre bender to date.”
Interestingly, the script of ‘Heart Eyes' is helmed by Christopher Landon, known for directing ‘Happy Death Day.' He partners again with Michael Kennedy, who wrote for ‘Freaky' and ‘It's a Wonderful Knife'. Together, they've teased us with a script that promises the best of both worlds!
The Power Team
To make this movie a success, a strong back-end team supports it. ‘Heart Eyes' is being produced by Christopher Landon, Greg Gilreath, Adam Hendricks, and the production house Spyglass. Add to this, executive producers Gary Barber and Chris Stone of Spyglass alongside Phillip Murphy and Mel Turner.
It's also worth mentioning that Republic Pictures has grabbed the distribution rights for this film outside of U.S. and Canada. It looks like the ‘Heart Eyes' fever is set to go global!
