Fruit Tree has a two-year first-look with A24. The companies have collaborated before on projects such as When You Finish Saving the World, directed by Jesse Eisenberg and starring Julianne Moore and Finn Wolfhard. They also collaborated in a television adaptation of Stacy Willingham’s A Flicker in the Dark. Emma Stone’s producing partners at Fruit Tree, Dave McCary (Stone’s husband) and Ali Herting are also a part of this project, along with Sarah Winshall with Smudge Films and Sam Intili.
In addition to producing I Saw The TV Glow, Emma Stone is set to star in A24’s The Curse. She will be appearing alongside Nathan Fielder and Benny Safdie, and it will be made for Showtime. Stone will also reprise her role as Cruella de Vil in Disney’s Cruella 2.
Justice Smith is known for his work in the Jurassic World franchise, including Jurassic World: Dominion, a major blockbuster hit this summer. He is also set to star in the upcoming and highly-anticipated fantasy film, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, alongside stars Chris Pine and Hugh Grant, among others. Smith also starred in the teen series Generation in 2021 for HBO Max.
Looking to Brigette Lundy-Paine, she’s known for her performance in Netflix’s Atypical. She has also starred in such feature films as Bombshell, Bill and Ted Face the Music, and Alexander Payne’s Downsizing.
A24 will both finance the project and handle worldwide releasing. The production company has several upcoming films to keep an eye on, including Causeway starring Jennifer Lawrence; Aftersun starring Carrie Mulligan and Paul Mescal; and Darren Aronofsky’s drama The Whale, starring Brendan Fraser. The Whale has already won Fraser the Tribute Award at the Toronto International Film Festival. It’s also been receiving critical acclaim, and A24’s first look created Oscar buzz.
