Gomez & 21 Laps to Produce
Horror-Thriller, with Gomez Eyeing Film to Star
Eros STX Global Corporation (NYSE:ESGC) (“ErosSTX”), a global
entertainment company, announced today Selena Gomez has come on
board to develop Dollhouse, the upcoming horror thriller from
STXfilms. Gomez is producing the film through her production
company July Moon Productions, along with 21 Laps’ Shawn Levy and
Dan Cohen who are also coming on board to produce. The announcement
was made today by Adam Fogelson, chairman, STXfilms Motion Picture
Group.
Gomez is eyeing the project, a psychological thriller in the
spirit of Black Swan, as a starring vehicle. The producers have now
begun looking for their director to shepherd the project to the
screen. The screenplay by Michael Paisley is set in the world of
the upper echelon of New York City’s fashion scene.
“Selena's involvement is an exciting direction for this project.
She is supremely talented as both a star and a producer,” says
Fogelson. “Teaming Selena with Shawn and Dan’s expertise in the
horror-thriller genre will elevate Dollhouse and we couldn’t be
more thrilled by the way this is being developed.”
Patricia Braga of STX will oversee the project with 21 Laps’
Emily Morris.
SELENA GOMEZ most recently signed on to reprise her
female lead role in and add executive producer responsibilities for
Sony Pictures Animation’s Hotel Transylvania 4. She currently stars
in and executive produces HBO Max’s “Selena+Chef,” and will produce
and star opposite Steve Martin and Martin Short in Hulu’s Only
Murders in the Building. She also recently executive produced
Sony’s romantic comedy The Broken Hearts Gallery, one of the few
films now playing in theaters. Her many acting credits include The
Dead Don’t Die, The Big Short, and the Netflix original
Fundamentals of Caring. Gomez also executive produced “Living
Undocumented” and the Netflix hit “13 Reasons Why.” Gomez is repped
by WME, Lighthouse Management + Media and Ziffren Brittenham.
21 LAPS recently sold the horror spec Mother Land to
Lionsgate and the Reddit No Sleep article My Wife & I Bought a
Ranch to Netflix. Their reboot of “Unsolved Mysteries” recently
launched to massive numbers on Netflix, and Levy’s upcoming
untitled Ryan Reynolds time travel film, which begins production in
November will also debut on Netflix. This reteams Levy with
Reynolds – their first collaboration Free Guy will be released by
Disney on December 11th. Additionally,
the 21 Laps produced Love & Monsters will debut this Friday
October 16th via Paramount in select theaters and on premium video
on demand. WME & Ziffren/Brittenham rep 21 Laps.
