Amanda Seyfried to star in supernatural thriller You Should Have Left

Amanda Seyfried has joined the cast of supernatural thriller You Should Have Left.

The Hollywood star will play an actress hiding a secret, who is also wife to a wealthy man, as portrayed by Kevin Bacon.

You Should Have Left will be the latest film by Blumhouse Productions, the company famous for its low-budget horror films including Paranormal Activity, Insidious and the critically acclaimed Get Out, which took home Best Original Screenplay at the Academy Awards in March (18).

According to the studio bosses, the film is an “unsettling story” which traces the movements of the married couple and their six-year-old daughter.

“Mistrust and suspicion characterise their marriage while they are in a remote location that may or may not be obeying all the physical laws of the universe,” a Blumhouse spokesperson explained in a statement.

Jurassic Park screenwriter David Koepp has penned the script and will also direct the feature, having last directed Mortdecai – an action comedy starring Johnny Depp and Gwyneth Paltrow – in 2015.

The film is based on the novel of the same name written by German-language author Daniel Kehlmann, which leading man and producer Kevin discovered and brought to Koepp as the premise for a motion picture. This will not be the first time the pair will collaborate, as the Footloose star previously worked with Koepp on horror movie Stir of Echoes in 1999.

Meanwhile, Amanda will soon reappear on global cinema screens as she reprises her role as Meryl Streep’s onscreen daughter Sophie in Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, which will be released from 20 July. The 32-year-old is currently filming The Art of Racing in the Rain alongside This Is Us actor Milo Ventimiglia.

Kamal Haasan's Vishwaroop 2 distributor Reliance Entertainment suffers a Rs 25-30 crore loss

Vishwaroop 2, the Hindi version of Kamal Haasan's latest spy-thriller, has failed to make a mark in the Hindi belt. The movie, which was released in theatres on August 10 after hitting several roadblocks and overcoming financial hurdles, got derailed at the box office because of its confusing storytelling and unpleasant screenplay. While some reports suggested that the Vishwaroop 2 managed to earn a mere Rs 90 lakhs on the opening-day, trade analyst Girish Johar said that the movie has earned around Rs 1.5 crores over the weekend. Speaking about the average business of the Kamal Haasan starrer, Johar told Pinkvilla, "What I believe is Kamal Haasan is sure shot a big icon in Indian Cinema but I think the film had similar kind of fate in the first part as well. The audience in the second time around were also not that keen because last time also the film did quite an ordinary business in Hindi version. So probably, this kind of storytelling he is trying to bring, Hindi a...

Emma Thompson says she was always paid less than her male colleagues. The 59-year-old actor-writer said women are still treated as “second-class citizens”. She also advocated to publish salaries to reveal the gender pay gap. “I was always paid less than my male counterparts. Publishing figures is the first step. “It’s a forensic way of looking at how women are second-class citizens, and I appreciate that because it’s not emotional. This is the fact: this person does the same work for less money, and that’s just wrong,” Thompson told Good Housekeeping magazine.
