A24 is reuniting with Talk To Me co-directors Danny and Michael Philippou on the horror title Bring Her Back to star Sally Hawkins.
Plot details remain under wraps on the project, which is being produced by Causeway Films’ Samantha Jennings and Kristina Ceyton. The compnay’s credits include The Babadook, The Nightingale, and this year’s Sundance selection The Moogai.
Production is scheduled to commence this summer and at time of writing it was unclear whether A24 will introduce Bring Her Back to international buyers in Cannes.
Hawkins earned a lead actress Oscar nomination for The Weight Of Water in 2018 and a supporting actress nod for Blue Jasmine in 2014. She won the Berlin Silver Bear for best actress in 2008 for Happy-Go-Lucky.
Talk to Me opened last summer and went on to become A4’s highest-grossing horror hit in North America on $48.3m. It earned a further $43.9m internationally for a $92.2m global box office.
The brothers are developing the sequel for A24 and working on a documentary project inspired by their journey into the world of international underground deathmatch wrestling.
