Kathryn Newton (“Freaky”) and Storm Reid (“The Last of Us”) are leading a new coming-of-age revenge thriller, “Hot Year,” and the project is turning into a bit of a “Lisa Frankenstein” reunion as Newton’s co-star in that horror comedy, Cole Sprouse, has taken a key part in the pic from director Roxy Sophie Sorkin.
Others among the cast of the movie, also written by Sorkin, include Dove Cameron, J. Smith Cameron, and Owen Painter.
In the report from Deadline, they also mentioned the film’s logline:
“Set against the eerie backdrop of a small Pacific Northwest town during a relentless heatwave, Hot Year follows two childhood best friends whose bond is pushed to the brink after a revenge plan against an ex-boyfriend spirals into a violent incident they can’t take back. Over the course of one feverish night, the pair must navigate the consequences of their actions as buried trauma, loyalty, and identity collide.“
The producing team assembled for “Hot Year” will consist of Wagner Entertainment’s Jordan Wagner and Killer Films‘ Christine Vachon, who will produce alongside Evan Silverberg and Dylan Conklin for Entertainment 360 and Ilya Stewart for Hype Studios.
Ryan Hamilton executive produces for Wagner Entertainment, with Amanda Larney as co-producer and George Bicknell as associate producer. Newton, Aleksandr Fomin (Hype Studios), and Pavel Burian (Mosaic Films) are serving as executive producers. Also, Talia Bella and Randy Wayne of Rebellium Films are co-producers on the project.
“Hot Year” is said to have cameras start rolling in Oklahoma next month.
