Tatiana Maslany of She-Hulk and Jasmin Savoy Brown of Scream 2022 and the upcoming Scream 6 have signed on to star in Green Bank, a sci-fi horror film from Scare Me and Werewolves Within director Josh Ruben. Variety reports that Protagonist Pictures will be launching international distribution sales at this month’s European Film Market, while CAA Media Finance and UTA Independent Film Group co-rep North American rights.
Green Bank gets its name from a real West Virginia town that’s located within the National Radio Quiet Zone, which is centered between the Green Bank Observatory and the Sugar Grove Station. Radio transmissions are restricted by law in this area “to facilitate scientific research and the gathering of military intelligence.” Cell phone use is restricted in the area, and the use of Wi-Fi routers and microwave ovens is also discouraged.
Scripted by Aaron Horwitz (The Cleansing Hour), Green Bank is set in the town of Green Bank and centers on infant sleep-trainer Sloan (Brown), who realizes that the parents of the child she’s caring for are much more than the clueless yuppies they seem to be.
Big Swell Entertainment’s Andy Horwitz is producing the film.
Ruben provided the following statement: “In a marketplace where original, horror-thrillers slay at the box office, we need no further proof that audiences want to have fun at the movies again. That’s the magic word. Fun. Horror is the bulletproof genre, and Green Bank has the full package — it’s smart, scary and wickedly funny.“
Protagonist Pictures’ CEO Dave Bishop added: “Josh has envisioned a perfectly paced roller coaster of a horror that expertly delivers on its promise to jolt, thrill, and terrify audiences, all while keeping them grinning from ear to ear. Green Bank is wall-to-wall, fright-filled fun led by a fiercely talented cast hailing from beloved franchises. This fresh, subversive take on the genre, which continues to dominate at the box-office, is the perfect offering for our partners.“
I enjoyed both of Ruben’s previous movies, so I look forward to seeing what he does with Green Bank – and Tatiana Maslany and Jasmin Savoy Brown are great choices for the lead roles. Are you interested in Green Bank? Share your thoughts on this one by leaving a comment below.
