Hereditary, Old, and upcoming A Quiet Place: Day One star Alex Wolff is set to produce and direct the dark psychological thriller If She Burns, in which he’ll also star alongside an impressive cast.
If She Burns will also star Victoria Pedretti (“You,” “The Haunting of Hill House”), Asa Butterfield (All Fun and Games, Flux Gourmet, Choose ofDie) and Justice Smith (Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, The Quarry).
The film “follows a fiery young woman (Victoria Pedretti) who travels to Europe with her dysfunctional family after a traumatic incident. She finds refuge and danger in a turbulent affair with her enigmatic neighbor (Wolff), which along with increasing family tensions and mysterious wildfires, threaten to push her to breaking point.”
The film is described as a “dark and sexy psychological thriller.”
Wolff is directing based on his own screenplay, and the multi-hyphenate filmmaker will also write and produce music for the film with Karl McComas-Reichl. The film is also produced by Jay Van Hoy (The Witch) and Andra Gordon (Castle in the Ground).
“I’m exhilarated to embark on a journey with such remarkable, brave actors like Victoria, Asa and Justice. What we put on screen will be daring, ferocious, tender, and honest. I’m honored to be able to share it,” Wolff said in a statement.
Mister Smith Entertainment’s founder and CEO David Garrett said: “Alex’s distinctive taste and vision as director is reflected in the projects he has been involved in to date. For If She Burns, he assembled a fascinating and talented young cast who are all currently making their mark across trailblazing film and television. Alex’s script sizzles with erotic tension and promises to deliver an unsettling and mesmerizing experience for the audience.”
Currently in pre-production and scheduled to start shooting on location in Italy in 2024, Mister Smith Entertainment will launch international sales on the film at the upcoming 2023 American Film Market, with WME handling North American sales. The actors were attached to the film prior to the SAG-AFTRA strike.
