- Megan Lawless joins the cast of PRƎPPY, following her breakout role in Obsession, and is now set to appear in the STX/Aggregate true-crime film based on the 1986 murder of Jennifer Levin.
- Lili Taylor is cast in PRƎPPY, adding to her recent projects including Daredevil: Born Again and The Bell Jar, and marking her role in a film that revisits the 'Preppy Killer' case.
- PRƎPPY is now in production in Manhattan, directed by Janicza Bravo and based on an original screenplay by David Levine and Rose Lichter-Marck, exploring the summer of 1986 leading to the Levin murder.
- Kit Connor, Diana Silvers, and Talia Ryder lead the cast of PRƎPPY, with new additions including Gideon Adlon, Jaeden Martell, James Wilkie Broderick, Jaya Harper, Jahi Winston, and Alex Consani.
- Jason Bateman produces PRƎPPY for Aggregate Films alongside Michael Costigan and John Buderwitz, with Peter Coleman, Paula Manzanedo, and Janicza Bravo also serving as producers.
- Elizabeth Marvel and Bill Camp appear in PRƎPPY, joining a cast that reflects a broad range of emerging and established talent in a film centered on class, privilege, and a notorious 1980s New York crime.
Why it matters: The casting of both rising stars and seasoned actors like Taylor and Lawless signals a high-profile push for PRƎPPY to reframe a sensationalized true-crime case through a contemporary lens, with Aggregate and STX investing in a narrative that challenges how media treats gender, class, and justice—materially shaping public memory of the 1986 case.
