Sunita Mani, who is best known for playing the role of Arthie Premkumar on the Netflix series GLOW and Trenton on the USA Network show Mr. Robot, leads the cast of the horror thriller Wilder Than Her, which recently wrapped production in Guerneville, California.
Written and directed by Jessica Kozak (making her feature directorial debut), Wilder Than Her is said to examine “grief, gaslighting, and female friendship with a thriller twist”. The story centers on
tight-knit friends Emilia, Finn, and Lucey as they attempt to reconnect on an annual camping trip, after the death of their best friend Bea. But things grow increasingly strange and uncomfortable in the isolated forest as their friendship unravels.
Deadline reports that Mani is joined in the cast by Kate Easton (When They See Us), Kayla Foster (Call Jane), and Danny Deferrari (Oppenheimer).
Wilder Than Her is coming to us from Bombo Sports & Entertainment. The company’s Head of Development, Shannon Reilly, produced the film with Chelsea Davenport and Kimberly Hwang, while Bombo’s Bob Potter served as executive producer. The screenplay was featured on the Blood List back in 2020, highlighting it as one of the best unproduced genre scripts of that year.
In addition to GLOW and Mr. Robot, Mani’s previous credits include Everything Everywhere All at Once, Servant, the Welcome to the Blumhouse movie Evil Eye, and Save Yourselves! I first saw her work in the short comedy videos of the Cocoon Central Dance Team. Kozak has previously written Brew Crew, the short Scary Death House: Choose Your Adventure, and an episode of The Bold Type.
