Deadline reports that Asa Butterfield (Sex Education) and Natalia Dyer (Stranger Things) have signed on to star in the horror thriller All Fun and Games, which is being executive produced by Avengers: Endgame directors Joe and Anthony Russo.
The feature directorial debut of Ari Costa and Eren Celeboglu, who also wrote the screenplay (based on an original spec script written by JJ Braider), All Fun and Games will follow
a group of siblings who find themselves in a game with a demonic twist.
We’ll have to wait to hear details on just what kind of demonic game they find themselves in, because that’s all the information that has been made available so far.
The production and finance outfits Anton and AGBO are collaborating on this project under the Gozie Agbo banner, “which is geared towards championing indie filmmakers.” One of the previous movies to come from the Gozie Agbo banner was Natalie Erika James’ horror movie Relic. Anton’s Sebastien Raybaud and John Zois are producing All Fun and Games alongside AGBO’s Kassee Whiting. Executive producing with AGBO’s Joe and Anthony Russo are Mike Larocca, Angela Russo-Otstot, and Anton’s Holly Hubsher.
It’s cool to see the Russos helping bring some smaller horror projects into the world after making some of the biggest movies of all time.
All Fun and Games has been fully financed by Anton and is expected to start filming in March, so hopefully we’ll be hearing more about it very soon. It sounds interesting enough (I really want to know more about the game the characters are playing) and Butterfield and Dyer are solid choices for the leads, so we’ll be keeping an eye on this one as it continues to move forward.
