British playwright and theater director David Farr is perhaps best known for scripting Joe Wright’s Hanna, and he makes his feature debut as a director with the psychological thriller The Ones Below. Word coming out of AFM is that the film has been nabbed for distribution, so read on!
Per Variety, Magnolia Pictures has acquired U.S. rights to the thriller, which tells of a suburban couple’s standoff with new tenants in the apartment below them. The film, which debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival, stars Clemence Poesy and David Morrissey (“The Walking Dead”).
“David Farr has concocted an incredibly satisfying and clever suspense thriller evocative of classics like Rosemary’s Baby and Fatal Attraction,” Magnolia president Eamonn Bowles said in a statement.
Magnolia is planning to release the film theatrically in 2016.
Nikki Parrott of Tigerlily Films produced in association with Protagonist Pictures. Executive producers are Dixie Linder, Nick Marston, and Ben Hall of Cuba Pictures; Christine Langan and Joe Oppenheimer for BBC Films; Lizzie Francke for BFI; and Nigel Williams.
