In his first outing behind the camera since Barry, his Emmy-winning dark comedy for HBO, Bill Hader has officially locked in plans to write, direct and star in They Know, a new horror film for MRC, which will begin production in Los Angeles this spring.
They Know centers on a divorced dad (Hader) who grows suspicious that his ex-wife is secretly dating a mysterious man who is having a strange influence on their children.
What truly exciting news! If you’ve ever caught an interview with Bill Hader, you know that he is a massive cinephile, and truly loves both movies, but also the craft of them. Add the fact that his episodes of Barry were so excellently executed, and this bodes well overall.
This would put him in the ranks of Jordan Peele, Edgar Wright and Zach Cregger in the Comedy-to-Horror pipeline. Fingers crossed its as good as their respective debuts.
