“Companion” is the upcoming sci-fi masterpiece set to hit screens on January 10, 2025. It has been written and directed by Drew Hancock (Suburgatory and My Dead Ex), marking his first feature film as a director.
The producers include Zach Cregger, known for the acclaimed horror film “Barbarian”, alongside Roy Lee and Boulderlight Pictures, which has a strong track record in producing engaging horror content.
The cast features prominent actors such as Jack Quaid, Harvey Guillén, Megan Suri, Lukas Gage, Sophie Thatcher, Marc Menchaca, Rupert Friend and Woody Fu, among other talented stars from the current Hollywood scene.
Is Companion based on a true story?
The upcoming sci-fi thriller “Companion”, featuring Rupert Friend and Jack Quaid, is not based on a true story. The film is described as a suspenseful narrative with elements of horror, but its plot and characters are fictional.
It is produced by the same team behind the movie “Barbarian”, directed by Zach Cregger, and revolves around a character played by Sophie Thatcher, who has more depth than initially apparent.
As of now, specific details about the plot are being kept under wraps, adding to the intrigue surrounding the title. The first teaser will be released on Wednesday, October 2, unveiling several anticipated details, including the story.
The film is part of a broader wave of innovative horror cinema and given the past success of its producers, the highly anticipated title has the potential to make a significant impact upon its release.
