Fresh off a record eleven Oscar nominations for Everything Everywhere All at Once, Variety reports that A24 is in “final talks” to acquire the hot Sundance horror title Talk to Me.
Variety notes, “The film fetched a figure in the high seven-figure range, according to sources.” The plan, they say, is to give the film a wide theatrical release this coming summer.
The film follows a group of teenage friends that takes up communion with the spirits as a party activity. Mia (Sophia Wilde) looks to connect with the supernatural following the death of her mother, but a séance gone wrong carries terrifying consequences for the group.
Sophia Wilde, Miranda Otto, Alexandra Jensen, Joe Bird, Otis Djanji and Zoe Terakes star.
Danny and Michael Philippou (YouTube’s RackaRacka) wrote and directed Talk to Me.
Meagan Navarro wrote in her Sundance review for BD, “Talk to Me delivers an intense, nightmarish horror movie that’ll leave you breathless.” The review continued, “There’s a refreshing ruthlessness to this cautionary tale that plays like a surge of adrenaline; it makes for one hell of an introduction to Danny and Michael Philippou’s brand of horror.”
