“Cat Person,” which launched with a bang at Sundance, might be launched in theaters on Oct. 6 by Rialto Pictures.
The wild thriller — which stars Emilia Jones (“CODA”) and Nicholas Braun (“Succession”) as a pair whose indicators cross, resulting in disturbing interactions — made its world premiere to an enormous response on the pageant in January.
Susanna Fogel directed the polarizing movie, which relies on Kristen Roupenian’s brief story of the identical title in The New Yorker that went viral following its publication in 2017, changing into the journal’s most-read piece of fiction ever.
Michelle Ashford wrote the screenplay. In his overview for Variety, Peter Debruge referred to as it “wickedly ambiguous Sundance conversation-starter.” Still, some followers of the brief story have expressed outrage that the movie features a third act that isn’t mirrored within the supply materials.
StudioCanal absolutely financed the movie, which is govt produced by Susanna Fogel, Michelle Ashford and Daniel Hank and produced by Jeremy Steckler and Conde Nast Entertainment/The New Yorker Studios’ Helen Estabrook.
Fogel is repped by UTA and Lighthouse Management & Media.
During the premiere Q&A, Ashford mentioned that one of many issues that intrigued her concerning the undertaking have been the discussions that occurred as soon as Roupenian’s story went viral and the way it allowed her the prospect to write down sophisticated characters.
“A lot of people thought that one of these characters had to be the villain,” she mentioned. “What we are saying is that no one is the villain — it’s just a catastrophic miscommunication.”
