The Walking Dead actor Norman Reedus has joined Joseph Gordon-Levitt (500 Days of Summer, Inception) and Phoebe Dynevor (Bridgerton) in the horror movie Pendulum, which is now underway in New Mexico. Darren Aronofsky is producing for Protozoa and Black Swan scribe Mark Heyman is directing.
Also producing are Jacob Jaffke (MaXXXine) and Élan Klein Jaffke for Motel Mojave and Dave Caplan (Longlegs) for C2, which will also fully finance. Black Bear is handling international sales and will continue shopping the project at the Cannes market.
Described as a “terrifying new genre film,” Pendulum follows young couple Patrick (Gordon-Levitt) and Abigail (Dynevor) on a journey to a new-age retreat in New Mexico, drawn by the possibility of healing after a traumatic event.
“Patrick is willing to do anything to help his wife but becomes distrustful of the retreat’s enigmatic leader even as Abigail falls under her spell. As paranoia builds, the couple must determine if the group’s unconventional spiritual practices offer genuine healing or mask a terrifying truth that threatens to consume them both. Reedus will play the couple’s friend who introduces them to the retreat.
Stay tuned for updates on the film as it moves forward.
