Ke Huy Quan & Lili Reinhart To Star In New Breed Of Horror Film, ‘Bad Boy’, From ‘Longlegs’ & ‘M3gan’ Producers; Black Bear Launching Hot EFM Package
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: Here’s a novel package that should generate some heat in the cold of Berlin’s EFM next week. Black Bear is launching Bad Boy, a new breed of genre film that charts a young woman’s fight to escape a deadly serial killer through the eyes of man’s best friend, his faithful dog.
There have been plenty of kids films and some dramas told from an animal’s perspective, but not many horror films. From the producer of Longlegs, Dave Caplan, and M3gan, Divide/Conquer’s Adam Hendricks and Greg Gilreath, the film is set to star Oscar-winner Ke Huy Quan (Everything Everywhere All At Once) and Lili Reinhart (Hustlers).
Genre director Jacob Chase (Come Play, The Girl In The Woods) will direct Travis Braun’s Black List-topping script. Dave Caplan’s company C2 will also fully finance.
Filming is due to start in August in Canada. Casting is in process for the dog, which we hear will be a Terrier. Black Bear previously sold box office breakout Longlegs and has anticipated horror Monkey on deck.
