Actors and married couple Alison Brie and Dave Franco previously collaborated on Franco’s feature directorial debut, The Rental, in 2020. Now, the pair are set to co-star in a new horror film, Together.
Variety reports that the horror movie feature hails from first-time writer/director Michael Shanks.
Together will explore “the horror of co-dependency told in a unique way,” though additional plot details remain under wraps at this time. That Brie and Franco are married should add an interesting layer to the co-dependency horror, which might fall under the “unique” descriptor of this horror feature.
Brie appeared in Scream 4 before starring in Franco’s The Rental, which saw two couples celebrating a weekend getaway, only to face grueling terror when an imminent threat forces them to expose well-kept secrets. The couple also appeared together onscreen in ensemble comedy The Little Hours and A24’s The Disaster Artist.
“She’s a unique actor in the way that she’s able to balance heavy drama with moments of levity,” Franco told Variety in 2020 about working with Brie on his debut feature. “And it was just so comforting for me to have her there through the process. As a first-time director, there were moments where I would get in my head and start to doubt myself. It was invaluable to have her there to build me up when I needed to be, and to remind me that we were doing good work.”
Before helming his first horror film, Franco also appeared in horror films Fright Night, Warm Bodies, and Netflix’s Day Shift. He’s set to next appear in Rose Glass’s Love Lies Bleeding, which recently premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, with the new trailer set to arrive tomorrow.
Franco and Brie will also produce the film, alongside Picturestart, Tango, 1.21 and Princess Pictures. Tango, Picturestart and 30West are financing.
Stay tuned for additional details on Together as they arrive.
