Gillian Jacobs to Star in Horror Thriller LARRY
By: Kaitlin Milligan Sep. 06, 2018
Gillian Jacobs is set to star in LARRY, Amblin's horror film, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Also starring in the film is Azhy Robertson, which is helmed by writer-director Jacob Chase.
Larry is being described as a two-hander in a similar fashion to the pairing of Bruce Willis and Haley Joel Osment in The Sixth Sense.
The story tells of a troubled young boy (Robertson) and his family who become the target of a monster that materialized through electronic devices such as smartphones and tablets. The project is based on Chase's horror short and harkens back to early Amblin movies like THE FAMILY under siege in Poltergeist as well as the more recent Mama, another horror short adapted into a feature film.
Filming for Larry will begin October 2nd in Toronto.
Jacobs is best known for starring in NBC's Community and Netflix's Love. She could most recently be seen in Netflix's feature comedy Ibiza.
