By Renee Hansen
The horror comedy It's What's Inside was picked up for worldwide distribution by Netflix at its premiere at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival. The indie film was directed by Greg Jardin and stars Alicia from Fear the Walking Dead's actress Alycia Debnam-Carey. The film has another interesting Fear TWD tie as Colman Domingo (Victor Strand) is an executive producer.
Director Jardin also wrote the movie, which was quite the sensation at this year's Sundance Festival. Sought after by many studios, Netflix came out on top, acquiring the film for $17 million, the highest deal at the 2024 festival. The movie was also screened at SXSW in March.
According to Netflix, the longline describes the film as being set at a pre-wedding party that descends into an existential nightmare when an estranged friend arrives with a mysterious suitcase.
Debnam-Carey stars alongside Brittany O’Grady, James Morosini, Devon Terrell, Gavin Leatherwood, Reina Hardesty, Nina Bloomgarden, and David Thompson. The movie is co-produced by Such Content, Boldy Go, and Domingo's Edith Productions. William Rosenfeld, Kate Andrews, Jason Baum, and Raul Domingo, Colman Domingo's husband, serve as producers with Colman and Robert Kapp as executive producers.
It's What's Inside will premiere on Netflix at a date that has yet to be announced.
