Hot off the success of The Substance, Mubi will release Lurker in theaters on August 22.
The announcement comes with new stills of stars Théodore Pellerin (Beau Is Afraid) and Archie Madekwe (Midsommar), pictured above and below.
The parasocial, paranoid thriller follows a 20-something retail clerk who encounters a rising pop star, taking the opportunity to edge his way into the in-crowd. As the line between friend and fan blurs beyond recognition, access and proximity become a matter of life and death.
“The Bear” and “Beef” writer-producer Alex Russell makes his feature directorial debut from his own script.
Havana Rose Liu (Bottoms), Sunny Suljic (The Killing of a Sacred Deer), Daniel Zolghadri (Y2K), and Zack Fox (“Abbott Elementary”) round out the cast.
High Frequency Entertainment, MeMo, Arts & Sciences, Twin Pictures, and Case Study Films produce.
Lurker premiered to critical acclaim at the Sundance Film Festival in January. It’s set to screen in New York City this weekend as part of New Directors/New Films.
