As he was watching the WNBA playoffs and playing video games in his basement, John Carpenter managed to complete a side project: composing the score for A24’s upcoming “Death of A Unicorn” (via Bloody Disgusting).
Alex Scharfman’s debut feature, starring Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega, concerns a father and daughter who "accidentally hit and kill a unicorn while en route to a weekend retreat," where the father's billionaire boss (played by Richard Grant) "seeks to exploit the creature’s miraculous curative properties.”
“Death of A Unicorn” is produced by Ari Aster, and also stars Téa Leoni, Will Poulter, Anthony Carrigan, Sunita Mani, Jessica Hynes, and Stephen Park. Filming wrapped a few months ago, so don’t be surprised if it has its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in January.
Earlier this year, Zack Snyder mentioned having seen James Gunn’s “Superman.” Heaping praise on it. Now he’s saying he actually hasn’t caught up with it yet?
