Drop star Meghann Fahy has been set to lead the supernatural thriller Banquet from The Platform director Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia, Deadline reports this morning.
Banquet is based on an original screenplay from writer Sam Steiner (Fingernails).
Fahy will play “Jenny Cochrane, a woman whose perfect life is shattered by the return of her estranged son, which reawakens a terrifying secret buried in her bloodline.”
While that’s not a lot to go on as of yet, it’s worth pointing out that Gaztelu-Urrutia’s feature debut, The Platform, became one of Netflix’s all-time top ten most watched films upcon release and received a sequel last year. The Platform also amassed glowing critical praise won a Goya at the Spanish Academy of Motion Pictures for Best Special Effects.
After breaking out in season two of “The White Lotus,” Meghann Fahy is keeping busy. After a starring role in Christopher Landon’s Drop, the actor is next slated to appear in Netflix’s dark comedy Sirens. All of which to say that the talent behind Banquet so far has our curiosity piqued.
David Yates (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Parts 1 & 2) will executive-produce under his banner Wychwood Media alongside Florian Zeller (The Father) and Federica Sainte-Rose for Blue Morning Pictures.
XYZ Films is financing and will launch international sales for Banquet this month and production is set for October in the UK, so stay tuned for additional news as it arrives.
