Thanksgiving star Gina Gershon takes on next horror gig in the body horror The Designer
You can currently catch Gina Gershon in the action comedy film Borderlands. But before she took on that project, she had starred in the 2023 slasher Thanksgiving, which ended up being a box office hit. Now, she's set to star in a new horror movie titled The Designer, so it doesn't look like she is quite done with the horror world just yet.
The Designer is being described as a body horror flick. It comes from American filmmaker Em Johnson, who is writing the script and will also be directing. Johnson is best known for writing and directing the drama film Balloon Animal. Incandescent Entertainment, First Bloom Films, and Hemlock Circle Productions are the production companies behind the new horror film, with Jiarui Guo, Warner Davis, and Katherine Waddell serving as producers.
Waddell (pictured above) and Johnson had previously worked together on Balloon Animal, a movie in which Waddell starred. Waddell also had a role in the black comedy Dinner in America. In The Designer, Waddell will be starring in the leading role of Gerry, a woman desiring an identity. Because of this desire, Gerry takes on a job at a multi-level marketing company called Kismetta. But after joining the company, she finds herself entering into a "world of chaos."
Besides Gershon and Waddell, Ethan Slater (Wicked), Jesse James Keitel (Queer as Folk, Big Sky), Michelle Hurd (Anyone but You, Star Trek: Picard), Annie Golden (Orange Is the New Black), Jessica Belkin (Last Straw, American Horror Story), and Gwendoline Yeo (Star Wars: The Bad Batch) will be starring as well. But unfortunately, it's unknown who they will all be playing in the film. Once this information is revealed, we'll let you know right away.
This is all we know about The Designer as of right now. As more information comes out, we'll make sure to come back and share it. But for now, stay tuned to 1428 Elm!
