Kathryn Newton and Nick Jonas are set to star in holiday horror film ‘White Elephant’ from the director behind ‘Clown in a Cornfield’
Kathryn Newton (Ready or Not 2: Here I Come) and Nick Jonas (Power Ballad) are set to star in MRC‘s holiday horror flick White Elephant, reports Deadline this morning. The project will be the first under their partnership with Radio Silence and Project X, dubbed RSPX.
“Eight friends. One prize. Zero trust. Their annual festive holiday gift exchange spirals into a cutthroat game of Christmas carnage.”
Anyone who has ever experienced a White Elephant gift exchange knows exactly how ugly it can get. I’m surprised there hasn’t been a feature horror film centered around the event until now.
Eli Craig (Clown in a Cornfield) will direct from a script he wrote with JT Billings (“Are You Afraid of the Dark”).
MRC is the studio financing the film with Spencer Berman, Nick Jonas, William Sherak, Paul Neinstein, James Vanderbilt, Tyler Gillett and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin producing. Exec producers are Billings, Ryan McDonough, Amanda Drake, Newton, Scott Levine, and Chad Villella.
Production began this week.
