Carrie Coon, Ben Platt, and Lukas Gage's New Psychological Thriller "I Am Not Your Mother"
Deadline
Carrie Coon, Ben Platt, and Lukas Gage will star in the new psychological thriller "I Am Not Your Mother," which is set to begin production. The project will be directed by Craig Johnson, known for "The Skeleton Twins," and is based on a screenplay by Johnson and Ryan O'Connell, the writer of "Special."
Carrie Coon is recognized for her role in "The White Lotus," while Ben Platt gained fame from his role in the series "The Politician." Lukas Gage appeared in last year's release "Smile 2." With these three actors on board, the production will add a new project to the genre of psychological thrillers that incorporates dark comedic elements.
Mister Smith Entertainment will kick off the international sales of the film at the upcoming Cannes Film Market. This sales market is considered one of the most significant meeting points in the film industry, where many productions are promoted through this platform.
Supported by Craig Johnson's direction and Ryan O'Connell's screenwriting, "I Am Not Your Mother" is described as a "deep and dark comedy." This hybrid approach is increasingly favored for productions aimed at both amusing and unsettling audiences.
Although the project is still in its early stages, expectations are high that "I Am Not Your Mother" will carve out a significant place in cinema, thanks to its talented lead actors and experienced production team. Details about the production and the start of filming will be announced in the coming period.
