Netflix UK has emerged victorious in a bidding war over genre pic Alpha, and Deadline reports that Carry-On actor Taron Egerton is being “circled” to star.
The project is described as a “fun, sexy, elevated genre title that explores the world of toxic masculinity, greed, and the mythos of success, a cross between American Psycho, the HBO Max series Industry, and American Werewolf in London.”
In Alpha, “a mild-mannered American analyst climbs the ranks of a ruthless London investment firm, only to discover a horror more frightening than the industry itself: the insatiable monster awakening within him.”
Adam Goldworm’s Aperture Entertainment and Tory Tunnell and Joby Harold’s Safehouse are producing the new werewolf project.
Goldworm is also producing Ankle Snatcher at Sony,
