Phoebe Dynevor is set to star opposite Joseph Gordon-Levitt in the horror feature “Pendulum,” written and directed by “Black Swan” scribe Mark Heyman.
The pic will be produced by Darren Aronofsky (“Black Swan,” “The Whale”) for Protozoa, Jacob Jaffke (“MaXXXine,” “Dream Scenario”) for Motel Mojave and Dave Caplan (“Longlegs”) for C2, who will also fully finance.
The movie will start principal photography in this month in New Mexico. Black Bear is repping international rights on the pic. UTA Independent Film Group, CAA Media Finance, and WME Independent hold domestic rights.
Described as a “terrifying new genre film,” "Pendulum" follows young couple Patrick (Gordon-Levitt) and Abigail (Dynevor) on a journey to a new-age retreat in New Mexico, drawn by the possibility of healing after a traumatic event. Patrick is willing to do anything to help his wife, but becomes distrustful of the retreat’s enigmatic leader even as Abigail falls under her spell. As paranoia builds, the couple must determine if the group’s unconventional spiritual practices offer genuine healing – or mask a terrifying truth that threatens to consume them both.
Best known for her star-making role in "Bridgerton" and acclaimed role in "Fair Play", Dynevor has a busy year ahead of her that includes the thriller "Beneath the Storm", set to bow later in 2025.
She most recently wrapped production on A24’s dark comedy "Famous" in which she stars opposite Zac Efron.
Dynevor also recently signed on to star opposite Jake Gyllenhaal in M. Night Shyamalan’s next movie.
