EXCLUSIVE: Sunita Mani (GLOW, Mr. Robot) will topline the horror Wilder Than Her from Bombo Sports & Entertainment, which has wrapped production in Guerneville, CA. The three other leads for the film, written and directed by Jessica Kozak, are Kate Easton (When They See Us), Kayla Foster (Call Jane) and Danny Deferrari (Oppenheimer).
Examining grief, gaslighting and female friendship with a thriller twist, Wilder Than Her picks up with tight-knit friends Emilia, Finn and Lucey as they attempt to reconnect on an annual camping trip, after the death of their best friend Bea. But things grow increasingly strange and uncomfortable in the isolated forest as their friendship unravels.
Kozak’s script for Wilder Than Her was selected for the 2020 Blood List as one of the best unproduced genre scripts of the year. Bombo’s Head of Development, Shannon Reilly, is producing the film alongside Chelsea Davenport and Kimberly Hwang, with Bombo’s Bob Potter serving as exec producer. UTA is handling worldwide sales.
Best known for her series regular roles on Netflix’s GLOW and USA Network’s Mr. Robot, Mani starred alongside Search Party‘s John Reynolds in the acclaimed alien invasion comedy Save Yourselves!, which made its world premiere at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival. She also starred opposite Sarita Choudhury in the horror-thriller Evil Eye, which Elan Dassani and Rajeev Dassani directed for Blumhouse and Prime Video. Mani was recently seen in Daniels’ hit A24 film Everything Everywhere All at Once, which has come in as the company’s highest-grossing release to date, and co-stars alongside Ryan Reynolds and Will Ferrell in Apple’s upcoming musical comedy, Spirited.
