Ke Huy Quan and Lili Reinhart Set To Star in Dog Led Horror Film BAD BOY
Ke Huy Quan (Everything Everywhere All At Once, Love Hurts) and Lili Reinhart (Riverdale) is set to star in what is described as a “new breed of genre film” titled Bad Boy.
The movie is said to chart “a young woman’s fight to escape a deadly serial killer through the eyes of man’s best friend, his faithful dog.” It will be interesting to see a horror film that revolves around the dog as the main character. That’s a unique concept.
The synopsis reads: “Gary is a good boy who loves his new owner, Cameron (Ke Huy Quan). He gets treats and belly rubs and life is great. Gary isn’t allowed in the basement though.
“And even if he was, he can’t unlock doors. But there’s a girl (Lili Reinhart) in the basement. And she can’t come out to play. Gary doesn’t know it, but he’s her only chance.”
The movie comes from the producer of Longlegs and M3GAN and it will be directed by Jacob Chase (Come Play, The Girl In The Woods) will direct screenwriter Travis Braun’s Black List-topping script. Filming is due to start in August in Canada.
Chase said in a statement: “I love dogs. More than people. And I’m tired of seeing horror movies where the dog is the first one to die! They’re not just pets, they’re our best friends, and I believe it’s time for a horror film where the dog is the hero.
“Bad Boy is about loyalty, instinct, and the incredible bond between humans and dogs. It’s going to be a highly original, grounded, deeply suspenseful fresh take on a horror thriller. And I’m thrilled to collaborate with Ke and Lili on two roles unlike anything they’ve played before.”
Quan previously said that he wanted to play a “diaboliocal reaaly bad guy” so I guess now he’s going to get his chance as he’s keeping a girl locked in his basement.
This sounds like it could be great horror flick! I’;m excited for it!
