Euphoria‘s Hunter Schafer, John Malkovich, Gemma Chan and Sofia Boutella are headlining the Neon horror feature Cuckoo, which Tilman Singer will write and direct. Neon is also financing the project with an eye to shoot in April.

 

Cuckoo is Tilman’s second movie following his supernatural horror film Luz, which debuted at the 2018 Berlin Film Festival and won a Special Jury Prize for Best Horror Film at Fantastic Fest and Best Film at the Milan Film Festival. He’s bringing his Luz team back together for Cuckoo including DP Paul Faltz, composer Simon Waskow and production designer Dario Mendez Acosta.

 

Jan Bluthardt, Zita Hanrot, and Proschat Madani round out the cast. Ken Kao and Josh Rosenbaum of Waypoint Entertainment are producing along with Markus Halberschmidt and Maria Tsigka of Fiction Park, and Thor Bradwell.

Hunter Schafer is quickly becoming a genre queen. The fact Euphoria is likely never returning at this point after too many off-camera setbacks doesn't seem like it's negatively impacting (and is perhaps serving as a plus to) the careers of the stars.

Euphoria will comeback to wrap up stuff, maybe not how people want it to though , i will be surprised if it resembles a traditional season of television

Zendaya's probably been the only person involved in the show who actually wants it to come back at this point due to going 2/2 at the Emmys alone and even she has to be like "nah, ain't worth it" by now lmao. It's already taken too long between seasons of the show (the cast was pushing it as teens in the second season, so a significant time jump would have to be required), but even then there seem to be bigger issues between the widespread reports of on-set hostility, the reported writing struggles, the stars looking to remain booked and busy for the foreseeable future, Angus Cloud's untimely death, The Idol being a toxic bomb to the point where major or rising talent are probably going to be apprehensive about signing on for any Sam Levinson project going forward. Think if HBO really wanted it to come back they would've pushed harder for it, Season 2's gap could at least be explained with COVID-related production delays.

Zendaya would want another season. She could make history with a 3/3 win especially as Emmies are partial to final seasons.

 

Elordi and Sweeney get a lot of focus on the show too which is why it's reported all 3 of them insisted Levinson return.

probably in  my top 3 horror movies this year with last omen and longlegs

Great to hear, loved those two films. 
 

Cuckoo doesn’t come out for another 2 weeks here, but I’m at a secret screening tomorrow and I’m hoping it’s this.

Tilman Singer is carving out his own niche in the same way Panos Cosmatos or Brandon Cronenberg is. It's hard to talk about the film without spoiling the type of horror it is. Dan Stevens steals most of the film with his playful German accent. Hunter Schafer plays the audience member who's trying to figure this weird shit out while falling asleep during the important details. She shines in the third act. It's a good film deserved of a second viewing.

 

A word of caution, there will be a few scenes in the film that repeat themselves like they're stuck in a loop. I've noticed some people were looking around as if the copy was messed up. I even thought this myself. It's meant to look that way. If this were the VHS days, I imagine some people who rented a copy would throw a fit.

It was Cuckoo! 
 

I thought it was a let down to be honest. Hunter was great and it had some cool style moments that reminded me of 80’s sci-fi horror, but it’s far too light on plot or pay off for me. A step down for Neon. 
 

2/5
