Actress/singer Bella Thorne ("I Still See You", "Amityville: The Awakening") has signed on to star in the upcoming sci-fi horror film "The Friendship Game". The film will be directed by Canadian filmmaker Scooter Corkle ("Hollow in the Land") from a script by Damien Ober, whose credits include writing segments for Netflix's sci-fi series "The OA".
The story follows a group of teens in a small town as they come across a strange object that tests their loyalties to each other with increasingly destructive consequences the deeper into the game they go.
Production is expected to begin in August in Vancouver. Thorne and Ober are also on board as executive producers along with Gabriel Chicoine, Zak Kilberg and Anisi and Greg Schenz. The film will be shopped at this year's Cannes Film Festival, which opens May 14.
Thorne's Freeform series "Famous in Love" was canceled last year after two seasons. She has finished filming the fantasy drama series "Paradise City", and she is also set to star in Jordan Galland's thriller "Leave Not One Alive", the crime drama "Southland", Chad Faust's thriller "Girl" and Cedric Nicolas-Troyan's sci-fi thriller "Exo".
