EXCLUSIVE: Virginia Gardner and Grace Caroline Currey scaled a 2,000-foot communications tower in Fall and will now face-off against wild dogs in The Breed.
Gardner has joined the survival pic, reuniting her with Currey (Shazam!) who had already signed on. She played Karolina Dean in Marvel’s Runaways on Hulu and Vicky in David Gordon Green’s Halloween. She also starred in Project Almanac and the Beautiful series.
Gardner and Currey co-starred in Scott Mann’s vertigo thriller Fall. After the success of the first film a sequel is in the works.
The Breed is billed as an unconventional reimagining of the cult Wes Craven-produced movie of the same name. Brothers Nathan and Griff Furst are directing. They also produce the film under their Curmudgeon Films banner. Daro Film Distribution is co-producing and financing. Filming in Guatemala, the film is expected to be released in 2025.
The 2006 original, which was directed by Nicholas Mastandrea, followed a group of friends who set out for a relaxing weekend on a remote island, but who find themselves besieged by a pack of vicious canines. It starred Michelle Rodriguez, Oliver Hudson, Taryn Manning, Eric Lively, and Hill Harper.
The new movie will, the producers said, follow a group of people searching for abandoned dogs on a remote island, with terror-filled consequences. Other cast includes Page Kennedy who starred in the Meg movies.
Curmudgeon Films is handling sales across the Americas and Daro Film Distribution has the rest of the world. Gardner is repped by Independent Artists Group, Sugar23 and Sloane, Offer, Weber & Dern.
