Kathryn Newton is reaching the territory where we might have to think of a new term that’s bigger than scream queen. She’s joining the film White Elephant alongside Nick Jonas. The movie comes from the team-up of Radio Silence, Project X, and MRC. They’re calling the partnership RSPX, which is oriented around inventive and engaging horror and thriller projects. The news comes from Deadline.
Newton previously worked with Project X and Radio Silence on Ready or Not 2: Here I Come, which is out in theaters now. Eli Craig, who directed the excellent Clown In A Cornfield is directing from a script he wrote with JT Billings. The logline for the film goes like this.
Eight friends. One prize. Zero trust. Their annual festive holiday gift exchange spirals into a cutthroat game of Christmas carnage.
MRC is financing the film with Spencer Berman, Nick Jonas, William Sherak, Paul Neinstein, James Vanderbilt, Tyler Gillett, and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin producing. Executive producers are Billings, Ryan McDonough, Amanda Drake, Newton, Scott Levine, and Chad Villella.
The film is in production now.
Nick Jonas is coming off Power Ballad, which he starred in alongside Paul Rudd, which releases in theaters on June 5th. He’s also starred in films like You’re Cordially Invited and The Good Half. He also just wrapped up production on Jumanji 4 with Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Karen Gillan, and Kevin Hart.
