Maika Monroe Teams Up with Director Chloe Okuno for Horror Movie "Brides"

Maika Monroe is teaming up with Watcher director Chloe Okuno on the thriller movie "Brides".

Neon has acquired North American rights to the pic, which marks the third collaboration for Monroe and the studio.

Okuno will direct the movie from a story based on her original screenplay.

The film follows Sally Bishop (Monroe) and her husband, who travel to a remote Italian villa where the villa’s owner, a mysterious count, takes a peculiar interest in Sally.

Pre-production is underway, and it is set to begin shooting in March. Neon will release the film theatrically.

FilmNation Entertainment launched international sales at the American Film Market in Las Vegas last month. UTA Independent Film Group represented global and domestic rights. 

"Brides" will be produced by Anthony Bregman and Stefanie Azpiazu through Likely Story.

Monroe recently starred in Osgood Perkins’ horror film "Longlegs" for Neon, which is the highest-grossing independent film of the year at $75 million domestically.
