Next up from Ready or Not actor-turned-director Mark O’Brien (The Righteous) is the dark horror comedy Nice People, and Deadline reports that it’s found its ensemble cast.
O’Brien will also star in the film alongside Sosie Bacon (Smile), Chloe Bennet (Dave), Keean Johnson (Alita: Battle Angel), Skylar Astin (Ghosts of War), Ayden Mayeri (Confess, Fletch), Ella Travolta, and Matias Lucas (The Order).
Nice People follows “seven former friends reunite at an abandoned clinic that hides their terrible secret. The evening spirals into paranoia, dark humor, and deadly choices as, one after another, they begin to die.”
The horror comedy is based on an original screenplay by Arwen Elys Dayton.
O’Brien said in a statement, “I couldn’t be more excited to work with these incredible producers, actors, and creatives. This film is a wild ride, a relentlessly propulsive story that I have no doubt will give audiences a unique thrill–lingering long after they’ve seen it.”
Producers on the project include Damiano Tucci, Dayton, Sophia Banks, Luke Watson, Vinny Lingham, Kevin Carter, and Mark O’Neill. Bacon and Kevin Hussey will executive produce, with production set to begin this month.
Stay tuned.
