Judy Greer, Daisy Ridley and more have joined Catherine Zeta-Jones in marriage counselor thriller ‘Cupid’ from the ‘Ma’ director.
And you thought your marriage counselor sucked.
Deadline reports that Judy Greer (pictured above in Halloween Kills) is joining Catherine Zeta-Jones (The Haunting) in the psychological thriller Cupid. Also joining are Daisy Ridley (Ebenezer), Darren Criss (Glee), and Travis Fimmel (Dune: Prophecy)
Tate Taylor (Blumhouse’s Ma, The Girl on the Train, The Help) directed from a screenplay by the Van Dyke brothers (Don’t Worry Darling).
Cupid follows a couple (Ridley and Criss) whose relationship is on the rocks as they try, over one weekend, to repair their marriage at the home of a seemingly helpful but unorthodox marriage counselor (Zeta-Jones). What starts as a hopeful endeavor quickly turns dark as her methods become crueler and more dangerous.
Daisy Ridley in We Bury the Dead
No word yet on who Greer will play. I’d imagine she’ll have more of a supporting role here, which is too bad, because she’s fun when she plays a psychopath. I love her performance in Wes Craven’s Cursed, even if the film itself is full of problems. She’s also appeared in a ton of genre movies, from David Gordon Green’s films to and the remake, plus an episode of and , to name a few.
Ridley, meanwhile, is beginning to find a home in horror, as well. Earlier this year, she starred in We Bury the Dead, a solid zombie flick that didn’t get enough attention. She also appears in the upcoming Ebenezer from Ti West, a horror-centric take on Charles Dickens ‘ A Christmas Carol.
John Norris and Taylor will be producing alongside Ryan Donnell Smith. Executive producers include Brian Edwards, Zack Sherman, Jon Hamm, and Jaan Bains for Time Zone Capital.
Cupid is now filming in Natchez, Mississippi, and will head to AFM this week.
