Oscar winner joins buzzy new movie from “Longlegs” and “The Monkey” auteur

Nicole Kidman and Osgood Perkins is the kind of team-up that will surely get horror fans foaming at the mouth (in a good way).

The Oscar winner, who previously starred in horror films The Others (2001) and The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017), returns to the genre, joining Perkins’ The Young People, the next movie from the newly minted horror auteur after Longlegs and The Monkey.

Kidman joins Lola Tung (The Summer I Turned Pretty) and Nico Parker (The Last of Us), who will lead the ensemble cast. Neon also recently confirmed that Tatiana Maslany will reunite with Perkins for a third time after playing Theo James’ onscreen mother in Stephen King adaptation The Monkey and filming a starring role in the upcoming indie Keeper.

Other cast members include Brendan Hines, Cush Jumbo, Heather Graham, Johnny Knoxville, Lexi Minetree, and Lily Collias.

Plot details are under wraps, but that’s commonplace for a Perkins project. The filmmaker prefers keeping the core narrative of his features locked up tight to preserve the theatrical experience. It’s why he actively kept any remotely clear look at Nicolas Cage‘s Longlegs serial killer transformation out of the marketing materials.

For Keeper, he and Maslaney held back considerably when chatting with Entertainment Weekly about the film, other than to say it’s about a couple who go on an anniversary excursion to a cabin in the woods, only for the woman to be left alone to deal with the horrors lurking on the grounds. The movie releases this Nov. 14.

So far, the only clues we have about The Young People is the tagline “a bad trip by Osgood Perkins” and a first-look photo showing Tung leaning over a bathtub filled presumably with blood.

In her past two horror ventures, Kidman starred in The Others as a mother who, along with her two photosensitive children, experiences supernatural occurrences in her New Jersey home in 1945. The actress then starred opposite Colin Farrell and Barry Keoghan in The Killing of a Sacred Deer as a woman whose family is shattered when a mysterious patient of her husband’s infiltrates their life.

The Young People is the first movie from Perkins as part of a first-look deal he struck with Neon, which has been releasing all of his most recent movies.
