Elizabeth Olsen (WandaVision, Love & Death) and Charles Melton (May December, Bad Boys for Life) are set to star in Todd Solondz’s darkly comic new feature ‘Love Child,’ as confirmed by Deadline.
What is the Plot of ‘Love Child’?
‘Love Child’ follows Misty, who is stuck in a loveless marriage to a brutish husband. Junior, her precocious 11-year-old, is her only consolation. When Easy, a handsome vagabond stranger, appears, Junior hatches a plan to get rid of his father so that his mother can marry him instead. But things end up backfiring, so Junior comes up with yet another plan, this one even more devious and with more disastrous—and unexpected—consequences.
Killer Films, 2AM, Volition Media, and Gramercy Park Media are teaming up with Rocket Science for this week’s EFM. Cindy Bru, Christine Vachon, David Hinojosa, and Ford Corbett will produce, with Michael Jefferson, Adam Beasley, Atilla Yucer, Joshua Harris, and Steven Farneth as executive producers.
Solondz said, “I am beyond excited to work with Elizabeth Olsen and Charles Melton on what will be a super fun and playful celebration of Hollywood movies.”
Olsen told in an interview, “I am a long-time fan of Todd’s work and to collaborate with him on this film is a true dream.”
Vachon commented, “I’m thrilled to re-team with Todd Solondz on Love Child. We’ve worked together for many years now, starting with Happiness in the late 90s, and more recently with Wiener Dog. Love Child is yet another example of his singularity as a filmmaker – this dark, hilarious movie could only come from him.”
The film is funded by Volition Media and Gramercy Park Media. Rocket Science handles international sales at EFM, while Cinetic Media and WME represent U.S. rights.
The release date for ‘Love Child’ is to be announced (TBA).
