Hope Davis, Michael Gandolfini, Liza Koshy, Fred Melamed, Isaac Powell, Isabella Rossellini and Donald Elise Watkins will join Nicholas Braun, Emilia Jones and Geraldine Viswanathan in the psychological thriller “Cat Person” for Studiocanal and New Yorker Studios.
The feature is based on the 2017 New Yorker short story by Kristen Roupenian which was the year’s most downloaded fiction published in a magazine and deals with the issues of modern dating.
The story follows the brief relationship between Margot (Jones), a 20-year-old sophomore college student, and Robert (Braun), a 34-year-old man who is a regular at the movie theater where Margot works.
Susanna Fogel will direct from a script by Michelle Ashford. Jeremy Steckler and Helen Estabrook produce. Filming kicked off on the project this week.
