Some potentially exciting news to report today. According to Deadline, A24 and Emma Stone’s Fruit Tree production company are teaming up to produce Jane Schoenbrun’s upcoming film, I Saw The TV Glow.
The film, which will be written and directed by Schoenbrun will follow “two teenage outcasts who bond over their shared love of a scary television show, but the boundary between TV and reality begins to blur after it is mysteriously cancelled.”
Schoenbrun made their feature film debut earlier this year with We’re All Going to the World’s Fair. It premiered at the Sundance Film Festival to pretty strong reviews. It’s set to be released early next year on HBO Max.
It also has strong horror themes, with the logline reading…
Alone in her attic bedroom, teenager Casey becomes immersed in an online role-playing horror game, wherein she begins to document the changes that may or may not be happening to her.
No word on when production will begin on this latest movie, but with A24 and Emma Stone attached, we have to imagine it’ll have more of a push than Schoenbrun’s first feature.
The film marks the continued collaboration between Fruit Tree and A24 with them recently working together on Jesse Eisenberg’s directorial debut feature When You Finish Saving the World, starring Julianne Moore and Finn Wolfhard.
We’ll keep you posted as more details become available.
