Dave Franco teams up with Sophie Wilde for an alien invasion thriller titled "Soon You Will Be Gone And Possibly Eaten," directing by Egor Abramenko. The project marks Franco's latest foray into genre work following his success in "Now You See Me" and "Together." Wilde brings momentum from her roles in "Talk To Me" and "Babygirl."
Abramenko helms the project with a solid track record in horror and sci-fi. He previously directed "Altar" for A24 and the Russian sci-fi film "Sputnik." Luke Piotrowski penned the script.
The thriller enters the marketplace at Cannes, a key venue for securing international distribution and financing. Franco and Wilde's casting signals serious ambitions for the project. Both actors have demonstrated range across dramatic and genre fare, positioning them well for a high-concept alien invasion narrative. The film taps into ongoing audience hunger for inventive sci-fi horror that blends spectacle with character-driven storytelling.
