A24, the production business that is loved by its audience, is planning for 2022 to be another successful year. After the success of Everything, Everywhere, All at Once, which is the most earning film in the company’s history, they are now focusing their efforts on Bodies, Bodies, Bodies, which has the potential to become the following big blockbuster at the box office. The plot revolves around a group of friends who, while attending a party, make the decision to participate in a potentially lethal game.
This provides the perfect pretext for one of their number to embark on a murderous rampage. We haven’t seen any new footage from Bodies, Bodies, Bodies since the trailer was published back in April. The trailer gave us a basic notion of what the movie looked like and what the stakes were, but we haven’t seen any new video from the film since then. A brand new trailer has been released, and in it, the group of characters engage in a twisted evening of games, cannabis, and murder, which turns out to be a mix that is quite lethal. Amandla Stenberg (The Hate U Give), Maria Bakalova (Borat Subsequent Moviefilm), Pete Davidson (The King of Staten Island), Lee Pace (Captain Marvel), Rachel Sennott (Shiva Baby), Myha’la Herrold (Modern Love), and Chase Sui Wonders (HBO Max’s Generation) are some of the actors who are featured in the horror film.
Halina Rejin, who most recently directed the critically acclaimed suspense film Instinct, is in charge of directing the horror film Bodies, Bodies, Bodies. Sarah DeLappe is the author of the screenplay, and she was inspired to write the screenplay by a short story written by Kristen Roupenian. The short story was first published in 2017 in The New Yorker, and it quickly went viral after its first publication. The film was given its world debut at an earlier date than usual during this year’s SXSW Festival, where it received glowing reviews from the press.
During the course of the event, the director Rejin gave an interview to Entertainment Weekly in which she discussed her inspirations and outlined the fascinating confluence of factors that resulted in the creation of Bodies, Bodies, Bodies: “My entire life has been spent playing the role of Hedda Gabler from “The Taming of the Shrew.” I was thinking something along the lines of, “Can I please have some f—-ing fun?” […] It’s almost like ‘Lord of the Flies’ crossed over with ‘Mean Girls.’ They find themselves in an unfamiliar environment, surrounded by people they know only through social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram.
But do they really get along with one another? […] In a high-stakes setting, power and sexuality are two topics that consume my thoughts constantly. We took all of those compositions from the classical era and reimagined them as contemporary ones. And we very much approached [Bodies Bodies Bodies] as if it were a Chekhov play virtually the entire time.” Bodies Bodies Bodies releases in cinemas on August 5.
