Further details about the project’s plot and characters are still being kept under wraps, but it is being described as a secret slasher film.
Bodies, Bodies, Bodies will be directed by Halina Reijn (Instinct), who has quietly been developing the package over the past several months and waiting for schedules to come together with a cast list that has become incredibly busy in recent months. The horror-thriller will be financed and produced by A24, with 2AM’s David Hinojosa attached to serve as a producer.
