Praise be for the casting directors on this one. Variety recently announced<\/a> that Shudder would be bringing Jane Levy and Jessica Rothe together for Joshua Giuliano\u2019s survival slasher River, which is set for theatrical release through Independent Film Company.<\/p>\n

On X, Discussing Film shared the news, along with a brief summary of the film, saying that it \u201cfollows 3 estranged siblings who reunite to scatter their father\u2019s ashes on a remote river. But after their boat breaks down, they realize they\u2019re being stalked by a faceless killer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jane Levy and Jessica Rothe will star in a new slasher movie \u2018RIVER\u2019 for Shudder.<\/p>\n

Evil Dead and Happy Death Day fans, rejoice! While I have personally been awaiting Happy Death Day 3, I\u2019ll gladly take this in the interim. Rothe has such a level of humor to her performances in those films that I can\u2019t wait to see what she brings to River. And the premise itself seems promising enough, the location a bit unique for your typical slasher film.<\/p>\n

Giuliano said in a statement: \u201cRiver was six years in the making, a labor of love that culminated in the most rewarding experience of my life. Working with Shudder has been a thrilling collaboration and knowing River will have a theatrical release is a dream come true. I look forward to sharing our terrifying creation with audiences.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Bloody Disgusting said in the comments<\/a>, \u201c[m]atch made it horror heaven.\u201d<\/p>\n
