Heather Graham has recently been announced as the latest addition to the cast of the upcoming thriller, They Will Kill You. The film is being produced by Nocturna Pictures, a horror label formed earlier this year by Skydance and Andy and Barbara Muschietti. New Line is co-financing and distributing the feature, with Kirill Sokolov set to direct when shooting commences in mid-September.
The movie stars Zazie Beetz in the lead role and is described as a horror feature with a touch of black humor. The plot revolves around a woman (played by Beetz) who responds to a job posting for a housekeeper in a mysterious high-rise building in New York City, unaware that she is entering a community plagued by a history of disappearances. The film is said to blend elements of Ready or Not and The Raid.
While details of Heather Graham's role are being kept under wraps, she joins a cast that includes Oscar winner Patricia Arquette and Tom Felton, known for his portrayal of Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter movies. The script for They Will Kill You was penned by Sokolov and Alex Litvak.
The production team includes David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Don Granger from Skydance, along with the Muschiettis and Dan Kagan. Executive producers include Russell Ackerman and John Schoenfelder, who oversee Nocturna, as well as Sokolov, Litvak, and Carl Hampe.
Heather Graham, known for her diverse acting career, has not appeared in many horror films previously. However, she starred in two horror movies last year, including Joe Lynch’s Suitable Flesh. Her upcoming projects include the Western Place of Bones, set to release on select theaters and PVOD platforms on August 23, and Chosen Family, a comedic drama that she wrote and directed. Chosen Family premiered at the 2024 Santa Barbara Film Festival and is scheduled for theatrical release on October 11.
Graham is represented by Paradigm, RMS Production, and Morris Yorn.
