What happens when a harmless prank goes awry? If you’re into the horror genre, then you know that just about anything and everything can happen. Throw in an all-star cast, and you’ve officially gotten our attention.
From the Press Release:
Star Thrower Entertainment, Ball and Chain Productions, and Anonymous Content will partner on THE WAITING, a thriller to be directed by Kasra Farahani, starring James Caan (THE GODFATHER, MISERY, ELF), Logan Miller (SCOUTS VS. ZOMBIES, NIGHT MOVES, THE STANFORD PRISON EXPERIMENT), and Keir Gilchrist (IT FOLLOWS, IT’S KIND OF A FUNNY STORY, “United States of Tara”). Farahani’s short film NOON was optioned within 24 hours of its release by 20th Century Fox and Chernin Entertainment, where it is currently in feature development.
Speaking about their film, the co-founders of Star Thrower Entertainment, Tim White and Trevor White, said, “Mark and Jeff have crafted an excellent script that seamlessly combines elements of a riveting thriller and fascinating character study. This script, together with Kasra’s elegant vision and our compelling cast, makes THE WAITING the type of filmmaker- and talent-driven project ideal for Star Thrower.”
THE WAITING was written by Mark Bianculli and Jeff Richard. The film will be produced by Tim White and Trevor White of Star Thrower Entertainment; Giri Tharan of Ball and Chain Productions; Rosalie Swedlin of Anonymous Content; and Elana Barry. Star Thrower Head of Production Allan Mandelbaum, who brought the project in, will also produce. Star Thrower and Ball and Chain will finance and produce. Anonymous Content, who developed the project and initially set it up at Warner Brothers, will also produce. Principal photography is set to begin this month in Los Angeles.
Mysterious events occur in THE WAITING when two high school filmmakers decide to create the illusion of a haunting on an unsuspecting neighbor.
Farahani comes from an impressive background in production design and art direction for studio blockbusters including AVATAR, STAR TREK, ALICE IN WONDERLAND, and THOR. Farahani is represented by UTA and Management 360. Caan is repped by CAA; Miller by Innovative Artists and Primary Wave Entertainment; and Gilchrist by ICM, Thruline Entertainment, and Lichter, Grossman, Nichols, Adler & Feldman.
Tim and Trevor White founded Star Thrower Entertainment, a film and television production and finance company, in order to create meaningful and lasting entertainment.
