Allison Brie to make directorial debut with female-led horror film

Los Angeles, August 4 (UNI) Allison Brie is officially stepping into the director's chair, making her feature directorial debut with an original horror film she co-written alongside writer Alice Stanly Jr.
The project, described as energetic and subversively fun, marks a significant evolution in Brie's already multi-faceted career.
The "GLOW" star shared the news in a recent interview with Marie Claire, revealing that the desire to direct emerged naturally during the writing process. “While we were writing it, I felt like I was writing it to direct it. I could see every shot in my head.”
Brie added, “I think women carry a lot of self-doubt and we have a desire to make everything perfect before we attempt something, or we learn everything we can learn. You want to really check the boxes and go, am I prepared for this? And at a certain point you have to just take the leap and believe in yourself.”
Stanley, known for her writing on the E! late-night series 'Busy Tonight', garnered critical attention for her unproduced pilot "Two Pinks", which was included on Out In Hollywood's Out Loud List in 2023. Their upcoming film will mark the most ambitious creative partnership between the duo to date, reports DEADLINE.
Brie, who previously directed a 2019 episode of her Netflix series "GLOW", most recently starred alongside Dave Franco in the Michael Shanks-written/directed body horror "Together", which premiered Friday in theaters.
After Patrick Henry Phelan alleged in a lawsuit that the film is a “blatant rip-off” of his 2023 indie film "Better Half", which Shanks, Neon and WME have denied, Brie addressed the accusation in her interview.
“This is a sad reality of the business, unfortunately these types of claims come up all the time,” Brie told Marie Claire. “Our screenwriter wrote the first draft of this script in 2019, a year before WME ever received the other script. We have an extensive paper trail, and we look forward to showing the court that these claims are frivolous.” UNI NST SSP
