Producer and financier Anton and AGBO announced additional casting on their high concept horror-thriller ALL FUN AND GAMES. The production, which starts principal photography this month in Canada, has confirmed that rising young actor Benjamin Evan Ainsworth (Pinocchio, “The Haunting of Bly Manor”), Emmy Award-winning actor Keith David (From Scratch, “Greenleaf”), and Annabeth Gish (“The Fall of the House of Usher,” “Midnight Mass”) will join previously announced actors Asa Butterfield (“Sex Education,” Hugo) and Natalia Dyer (“Stranger Things,” Yes, God, Yes). The film will be co-directed by Ari Costa (producer: Extraction and Avengers: Endgame, The Internet Kills) and Eren Celeboglu (The Internet Kills, “Scrubs”). Jessica Sherman served as casting director.
The film is fully financed by Anton, with the company’s Cecile Gaget overseeing worldwide sales and CAA Media Finance co-representing domestic rights. ALL FUN AND GAMES is a great summer movie for young audiences,” said Cecile Gaget. “Our international distributors have shown their confidence in the popularity of this genre by acquiring the film at this early stage.”
Anton and AGBO’s first joint production, ALL FUN AND GAMES, comes at a time when both are releasing highly-anticipated movies. Anton’s horror thriller Choose or Die (previously Curs>r), also starring Asa Butterfield, will have its worldwide debut on Netflix on April 15th. Meanwhile, Gozie AGBO’s Everything, Everywhere All At Once has been having great success in limited release and has expanded to theatres nationwide.
ALL FUN AND GAMES is produced by Anton’s Sebastien Raybaud and John Zois, as well as AGBO’s Kassee Whiting and Jake Aust. Serving as Executive Producers are AGBO’s Anthony and Joe Russo, Mike Larocca, Angela Russo-Otstot; and Holly Hubsher.
Synopsis: There’s a strange element of cruelty that’s embedded in kids’ games – Flashlight Tag, Hangman, Simon Says – and sometimes it’s taken too far. ALL FUN AND GAMES follows a group of siblings who find themselves in a game with a demonic twist.
