Sasha Grey seems to be on the precipice of crossing over into the mainstream entertainment industry, and her apparent affinity for genre filmmaking is quite endearing. Today we bring you news of another genre flick in which Ms. Grey will appear.
From the Press Release: Filming began this week on Periscope Entertainment’s WOULD YOU RATHER in Los Angeles, starring Brittany Snow (Hairspray) and Jeffrey Combs (House on Haunted Hill). David Guy Levy, President and CEO of Periscope Entertainment is directing and producing under his banner in association with Zak Kilberg (The Slaughter, Zombie Strippers!) at Social Construct Films, Maura Anderson (Winter’s Bone) and Dreamher Productions. Brittany Snow and Andre Royo (The Wire) are executive producing.
The film is based on an original script by Steffen Schlachtenhaufen (Emmy-nominated Life After People) and story by Schlachtenhaufen and David Guy Levy. WOULD YOU RATHER centers on a young woman (Snow) who, in her desperation to help her ailing brother, agrees to compete in a deadly game of “Would You Rather,” hosted by a sadistic aristocrat (Combs). The film’s cast includes Sasha Grey (Entourage, The Girlfriend Experience), John Heard (Home Alone), Robin Lord Taylor (Another Earth) and Lawrence Gilliard, Jr. (The Wire).
Listed by Variety as one of 2010’s 10 Producers to Watch, David Guy Levy executive produced the coming of age comedy Terri, starring Oscar-nominated John C. Reilly, which bowed in theaters earlier this month.
