Glen Powell is attached to star in and produce Homewreckers, an erotic thriller with a sci-fi twist. Legendary, Lionsgate, New Regency, Sony and Warner Bros. are among the companies bidding on the project, reports THR, which was unveiled early this week.
The unpublished three-chapter short story is by Neil M. Paik, who will also write the script. Details are being kept under lock and key. Still, sources state that the tones are reminiscent of Adrian Lyne, who made the steamy thriller Fatal Attraction and is known for sexually charged narratives about conflicting passions, seduction, moral ambiguity, betrayal, and infidelity, and Alex Garland, known for films exploring contemporary anxieties and whose works include Ex Machina and Civil War.
News of the project caps a banner year for Glen Powell, who headlined the comedy Anyone But You with Sydney Sweeney, the romantic comedy/actioner Hit Man, and the tornado flick Twisters. For upcoming projects, Powell is in very high demand and will soon be seen in the thriller Huntington opposite Margaret Qualley, in Edgar Wright’s The Running Man opposite Josh Brolin, in J.J. Abrams’ mystery Warner Bros film with Jenna Ortega, and many more.
Expect more news on this Homewreckers feature film soon.
