The stars of Scream VI and Renfield, Melissa Barrera and Nicholas Hoult have signed on to star in The One, an upcoming horror movie centered on a reality dating show.
THR reports this morning that Riley Keough is producing the feature film, which will be written and directed by Kevin Armento and Jaki Bradley.
The One is said to be a “nightmarish horror about the romantic and psychological warfare waged by our beloved popular entertainment.”
“The One follows Taylor (Barrera), who makes a last-ditch effort to find love by becoming a contestant on a reality dating show. Now down to just herself and two other women competing to win the heart of Mason (Hoult), Taylor begins to feel the artifice of the show fade, and the game becomes terrifyingly real.
“Amidst the opulent beachfront setting, fairytale dates and ever-flowing champagne, pursuit turns into obsession and rivalry turns into treachery as reality itself blurs.”
Lana Condor (To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before) will also star.
“We’ve been dreaming up this project for years, and are thrilled to now bring it to life with our actual dream team,” said Armento and Jaki Bradley. “Nick, Melissa, Riley, and Lana are some of the most exciting talents around, and their passion for this film — shared by our incredible producing — has us even more eager to make this nightmare a reality.”
Added Hoult and co-producer Whitaker Lader: “We were immediately drawn to this project that we think will be equally appealing to reality TV junkies and those who think it is a scourge on humanity. Jaki & Kevin’s script & vision promise a wild and deliciously dark film that will make audiences cringe, laugh, and question their own complicity.”
