Thomasin McKenzie ("JoJo Rabbit", "Last Night in Soho") and Katie Douglas ("Clown in a Cornfield", Netflix's "Ginny & Georgia") are set to star in the horror film "The Rule of Three", which is the first in a new horror trilogy adapted from bestselling thriller author Sam Ripley’s novel of the same name. James Roday Rodriguez ("Gravy") directs from a script co-written by Todd Harthan (Hulu's "High Potential") and Rodriguez.
Here is the film's official logline: "Beware, Beware, The Rule of Three, It's coming for you, like it came for me… Are Amy (Douglas) and her family plagued by a deadly curse? Every three years, death strikes under mysterious circumstances, horrifically killing family members. It's almost three years to the day since Amy’s parents' death, and Amy realises the curse must strike her next. With the help of her best friend Lizzy (McKenzie), the two friends try to cheat Amy's death and find a way to reverse the curse. But is Amy's fate already sealed? Bad things always happen in threes, so they say…"
"Smile" and "Smile 2" production company Temple Hill Entertainment have re-teamed with Protagonist Pictures on "The Rule of Three". Protagonist Pictures is launching sales at the upcoming Cannes Film Market. Marty Bowen, Wyck Godfrey and Isaac Klausner will produce for Temple Hill, with Hal Sadoff and George Berman executive producing. Dave Bishop, James Pugh and George Hamilton serve as executive producers for Protagonist, in collaboration with Rodriguez and Harthan's new shingle, Taft Tennis.
"The Rule of Three" marks Temple Hill and Protagonist Pictures' fourth collaboration, which began with "Clown in a Cornfield", scheduled for a wide U.S. theatrical release on May 9, 2025. The companies also joined forces on the high-concept horror "Monitor", currently in production, and Simon Curtis' "Encore".
Protagonist Pictures' CEO, Dave Bishop had this to say about the project: "The Rule of Three is the kind of gripping horror that gets under your skin and stays there. It's a bold, elevated horror with an unsettling psychological edge that taps into something universal - and terrifying...a truly wild ride. With Temple Hill's expertise in the genre paired with a chillingly sharp concept, this is a must see for horror fans and audiences worldwide."
Temple Hill's Marty Bowen added "We were immediately hooked by James' vision for a fresh and terrifying curse movie revolving around the notorious lore behind the number 3. Centred on a ride-or-die friendship between two young women, set against the nostalgic backdrop of the 90's, and underpinned by James' trademark wit, we know that audiences will find The Rule of Three scary and hilarious in equal measure. And with this being the first in the franchise, there are many jaw-dropping twists and turns to come."
"This is any director's dream — supportive and mustached producers, an incredible cast and material that defies the ways we try to define 'genre' filmmaking. Come for the terror, stay for the storytelling" said Rodriguez.
Thomasin McKenzie can next be seen in Bleecker Street's comedy "Fackham Hall" from comedian Jimmy Carr, and the historical musical drama "Ann Lee" from "The Brutalist" co-writer Mona Fastvold and writer/director Brady Corbet
Katie Douglas can be seen as the lead in "Clown in a Cornfield".
