Paranormal 3 directors change Nerve to Presto, actors revealed?

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

It's been a couple of months since telling y'all about how the PARANORMAL ACTIVITY producers were set to strike a NERVE under the directorial eye of Henry Joost and Ariel Schuman (CATFISH, PA 3). Well here now is an update…

According to Production Weekly (via B-D), producers have changed the title of NERVE to PRESTO, and doing so only two weeks out from principal photography. American Horror Story scribe and EP Jessica Sharzer adapted the script from Jeanne Ryan's YA novel. Here's the gist:

The novel tells of a high school senior wallflower who, in an attempt to broaden her horizons, joins a global online game of provocative truth or dare while an audience of “watchers” vote and comment. But as she becomes a sensation and advances higher and higher, the game evolves and soon she finds herself in a dangerous and life-ending situation.”

According to the films IMDB page, that bastion of accuracy, Emma Roberts, Dave Franco and Brian "Sene" Marc are attached to star. You think that will hold serve?

Allison Shearmur is producing is PRESTO.
