Nicole Kidman returns to horror in Osgood Perkins’ mysterious new film — here’s what we know so far
Academy Award-winner Nicole Kidman teams up with Osgood Perkins' horror-thriller, 'The Young People'. She will now star alongside Nico Parker and Lola Tung. 'The Big Little Lies' star is currently in post for her Amazon crime series, 'Scarpetta'.
The ensemble cast of 'The Young People includes Cush Jumbo, Heather Graham, Lexi Minetree, Lily Collias, Tatiana Maslany, Brendan Hines, and Johnny Knoxville. At the time of writing, the movie's production is underway in Vancouver. There is no official plotline; however, Deadline's latest revealed that reports online suggest the film "centers on a couple of school friends, one of whom starts to develop red flag behavior."
Per Yahoo!, 'The Young People' is the first project under the first-look deal between Neon, Perkins, and his production banner Phobos and marks the pair’s latest collaboration following the success of Longlegs which was the highest grossing independent film of the year at $75M domestically, and The Monkey which marked Neon’s second-biggest opening weekend at the box office. The two are also partnering on Perkins’ next film, Keeper, which Neon is releasing on November 14."
Kidman's joining comes on the back of the headlines she made after filing for divorce from Keith Urban in Nashville on September 30 this year. Urban and Kidman called it quits after 19 years of marriage, and per insiders who spoke to PEOPLE, the actor was "keeping it positive."
"She isn't someone who dwells on regrets — she believes everything happens for a reason," the insider added. Earlier, Kidman alluded to the challenges that arose after her divorce in an interview with Harper's Bazaar. "There’s something to knowing that no matter how painful, or how difficult, or how devastating something is, there is a way through," she said. "You are going to have to feel it, and it's going to feel insurmountable at times. You’re going to feel like you’re broken, but if you move gently and slowly — and it can take an enormous amount of time — it does pass."
While there is nothing concrete about the plotline and release date, the big names in 'The Young People' are sure to garner buzz. Only time will tell if Perkins' next will be a hit with the audience.
