Ari Aster, Lars Knudsen and Tyler Campellone will produce under their Square Peg banner. Project details are still under wraps, but rumors suggest it will feature a romance that takes an unexpected turn ahead of a couple’s big day.
This is a new film collaboration between Square Peg and A24 that previously resulted in Hereditary, Midsommar, Dream Scenario and the upcoming films Death of a Unicorn starring Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega and Eddington starring Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal and Emma Stone.
Following the success of Dream Scenario last fall, A24 was eager to work with Borgli again, but the project got serious momentum after Zendaya showed strong interest in the lead role. Pattinson later followed, and while deals have yet to be finalized, the project has now become a top priority for the studio.
