David Dastmalchian and Ashley Greene Set to Star in New Horror Thriller THE CURE
David Dastmalchian (Late Night with the Devil), Ashley Greene (Twilight), and Samantha Cochran are set to star in a new horror thriller film project titled The Cure.
The film centers on Cochran’s Ally Braun, “an adopted 16-year-old with a mysterious illness who learns her bio-tech billionaire parents (Dastmalchian and Greene) are harvesting her blood for nefarious purposes.”
The movie is being directed by Nancy Leopardi, and it recently wrapped production in Los Angeles. The filmmaker described the film as “a satirical take on the modern billionaire class cloaked in a crowd-pleasing thriller.”
Leopardi added: “The Cure is made in the tradition of classic horror and sci-fi films that are inspired by terrifying socio-political realities and advances in bio-technology. Like Ex-Machina, A.I., and Videodrome I believe we are on the cusp of a revolution in science and the big question is – who will benefit?”
The script was written by Jonathan Bernstein and James Greer, who previously worked on Steven Soderbergh’s Unsane.
I enjoy the films that Dastmalchain makes, and this seems like it will be an interesting project for him to be a part of.
