- Rosamund Pike will star in and produce “Feed” through her Primitive Streak banner, joining director Leslye Headland and screenwriter Daniella Isaacs on the body-horror project.
- Feed is inspired by the 2022 Finnish horror film “Hatching”; its logline follows a desperate mother who discovers an obscure collagen supplement promising influencer success for her tween gymnast daughter, before the girl goes viral and begins a monstrous transformation.
- ZQ Entertainment financed development of “Feed”; Magnolia Entertainment’s Shelley Browning, Spooky Pictures’ Steven Schneider, ZQ Entertainment’s Ara Keshishian and Petr Jakl, and Agile Films’ Sam Ritzenberg are among the producers.
- The Veterans will represent “Feed’s” international sales rights, while CAA Media Finance handles the U.S.; sales commence at the American Film Market next week.
- Rosamund Pike said “Feed” will “play anarchically” with society’s obsession with social media and self-improvement, the desire for fame without notable skill and “the monstrosity of modern motherhood.”
- Leslye Headland called Isaacs’s script “audacious, disturbing and deeply human” and said she felt “incredibly lucky” to make the film with two women whose work she admired.
Why it matters: The immediate milestone is concrete: ZQ Entertainment has financed development, The Veterans controls international sales rights and CAA Media Finance handles the U.S., with sales beginning at the American Film Market next week, giving buyers a defined point of entry into the project.
