EXCLUSIVE: Phoebe Dynevor is set to star opposite Joseph Gordon-Levitt in the pic Pendulum with Darren Aronofsky producing and Black Swan scribe Mark Heyman directing. Aronofsky will produce through his Protozoa outfit. Also joining as producers are Jacob Jaffke (MaXXXine, Dream Scenario, Bodies Bodies Bodies) for Motel Mojave and Dave Caplan (Longlegs) for C2, which will also fully finance.
The film will start principal photography in March 2025 in New Mexico. Black Bear is repping international rights on the film. UTA Independent Film Group, CAA Media Finance, and WME Independent hold domestic rights.
Described as a “terrifying new genre film,” the film follows the young couple Patrick (Gordon-Levitt) and Abigail on a journey to a new-age retreat in New Mexico, drawn by the possibility of healing after a traumatic event. Patrick is willing to do anything to help his wife but becomes distrustful of the retreat’s enigmatic leader even as Abigail falls under her spell. As paranoia builds, the couple must determine if the group’s unconventional spiritual practices offer genuine healing – or mask a terrifying truth that threatens to consume them both.
Best known for her star-making role in Bridgerton and critically acclaimed role in Fair Play, Dynevor has a busy year ahead of her that includes the thriller Beneath the Storm, set to bow later this year. She most recently wrapped production on A24’s dark comedy Famous where she stars opposite Zac Efron.
She also recently signed on to star opposite Jake Gyllenhaal in M. Night Shyamalan’s next film.
She is repped by WME, Luber/Roklin and United Agents.
