Well, now we know why Xavier Gens isn’t directing the sequel to his Netflix shark thriller Under Paris. Gens is a writer and associate producer on Under Paris 2, which is currently filming with Alexandre Aja at the helm, but his focus is on the sci-fi survival thriller Homewrecker, which he expects to start filming in France this July. Deadline reports that Michelle Randolph (Scream 7) and Allison Williams (M3GAN) have signed on to star in the film.
What is Homewrecker about?
Said to be in the spirit of 10 Cloverfield Lane, Homewrecker has the following synopsis: During a heart-breaking domestic revelation, three star-crossed Americans are suddenly forced to work together to survive a terrifying unexplained global event that threatens to destroy life as they know it. That sounds like an intriguing set-up for sci-fi survival thrills.
Denise Di Novi, Margaret French Isaac, and Oliver Scherick are producing the film for Di Novi Pictures, while John Zois and Warren Goz do the same for Parallel 42 Entertainment. Williams will serve as an executive producer alongside Michael Rothstein and Samuel Hall of North.Five.Six. That company is launching world sales at the Cannes film market. CAA Media Finance and UTA Independent Film Group co-represent for domestic sales.
What has been said about Homewrecker?
Williams provided the following statement: “I found the script riveting, and it had a depth that continued shifting and revealing itself as I read. Then, knowing Xavier’s work, I was very eager to work with this talented filmmaker. I’m grateful to be part of this team and this project.“
Randolph added, “I was immediately drawn to how Homewrecker blends psychological tension with something deeply character-driven. It has a kind of intensity and unpredictability that makes it such a compelling project. I’m so excited to be part of this with Allison and Xavier.“
And Gens had this to say: “I’m thrilled to explore American mythology from a uniquely intimate point of view. I can’t wait to share the set with Allison Williams and Michelle Randolph and push the boundaries of humanity further than I’ve ever gone before.“
