EXCLUSIVE: Vertical has acquired North American rights to All Fun and Games, a new horror thriller from Anton (The Night House) and the Russo Brothers’ AGBO (Everything Everywhere All at Once). The film starring Natalia Dyer (Stranger Things) and Asa Butterfield (Sex Education) has been slated for a day-and-date release on September 1, which will have it open against the Denzel Washington starrer The Equalizer 3 and the Olivia Cooke-Hilary Swank thriller The Good Mother, also from Vertical.
All Fun and Games marks the feature debut of Ari Costa and Eren Celeboglu, who directed from their script written with J.J. Braider (Vampire Academy). Also starring Benjamin Evan Ainsworth (The Haunting of Bly Manor), Laurel Marsden (The Pope’s Exorcist), Kolton Stewart (Locke & Key) and Annabeth Gish (Midnight Mass), the film explores elements of cruelty inherent in children’s games – from Flashlight Tag to Hangman and Hide & Seek – and what happens when the games go too far. When a group of teens find a cursed knife in the woods, they unleash a malevolent demon that will not rest until it’s claimed all of their lives and souls in a terrifying deathmatch.
Anton’s John Zois produced the film alongside AGBO’s Angela Russo-Otstot, as well as Jake Aust and Kassee Whiting. Exec producers include Anton’s Holly Hubsher, as well as AGBO’s Anthony and Joe Russo and Mike Larocca.

Matt Donnelly Senior Film Writer There’s an old joke used in show business when events and gatherings lack major celebrity attendance: “Somebody punch me in the face so I can see some stars.” But it’s no joke when it comes to the picket lines of the SAG-AFTRA and Writers Guild of America strikes, according to some of the protesters on the ground and select industry players who spoke to Variety. There’s been a “palpable” lack of headliners, said one prominent SAG-AFTRA member, speaking on the condition of anonymity. “If our stars were all out there in force advocating for us, we’d know it,” they added. Meryl Streep, Jennifer Lawrence and Rami Malek all signed a June letter telling union leadership they were prepared to strike, but none of them have surfaced holding signs or chanting at studio gates. Leonardo DiCaprio posted an Instagram story saying he stood “in solidarity with my guild,” but has yet to stand for any in-person protest. On day one of the actor’s strike in mid-July, one protester straddled a median at the drive-on gate at Netflix headquarters holding a sign that read, “Where the fuck is Ben Affleck?” So far, no one’s seen him on the front lines.
Prince Harry, Meghan Markle and their kids Archie and Lilibet could soon be packing their bags as an ideally located mansion on the market has caught their eye. Currently residing in Montecito, it's been reported by a source of the Express that a coastal property on the outskirts of central Los Angeles might soon be snapped up by the royal pair. With the likes of Hollywood darlings Leonardo DiCaprio and Charlize Theron as locals to the area, who could blame the couple for fancying the move? It's not all about these diamond-dusted neighbours, though, as it's been suggested that the 41 year old mum-of-two's recent decision to align herself with LA agent Ari Emanuel of William Morris Endeavour Talent Agency is another key factor in the family's interest.

The much-anticipated event, back for its 15th edition, is bound to satisfy the oddest of tastes, delivering the likes of “Animal Realm” – “Full on Wuxia. Total cyberpunk. Stop-motion animation in full action,” teases director Caochong Maing – or vampire story “Drawn” in which the bloodsuckers don’t actually drink blood.
