Influencer writer-director Kurtis David Harder has quietly wrapped production on Influencers, the follow-up to his 2022 thriller, Deadline reports.
Cassandra Naud returns to star opposite Georgina Campbell (Barbarian). The cast also includes Lisa Delamar (Survive), Jonathan Whitesell (“Chilling Adventures of Sabrina”), Veronica Long (“Billy the Kid”), and Dylan Playfair (“Letterkenny”).
The sequel moves the action from Thailand to southern France, where a young woman’s chilling fascination with murder and identity theft sends her life into a whirlwind of chaos.
It’s produced by Jackrabbit Media, which will rep international rights at Cannes.
“With Influencers, I wanted to revisit the themes of control and illusion, but from a new angle — one that’s more seductive, more dangerous, and more unhinged,” said Harder. “It’s a film that plays with perception. Fans of Influencer will feel something familiar beneath the surface, but the real fun is discovering just how deep those connections run.”
“Kurtis has once again crafted a film that’s both sharply contemporary and deeply unsettling,” said Shudder SVP Emily Gotto. “Influencers seduces the viewer with atmosphere and aesthetic before cutting into something darker, smarter, and much more dangerous. It’s exactly the kind of visionary genre storytelling we’re proud to support.”
“We couldn’t be more excited to share Influencers with the world,” added Jackrabbit CEO Jack Campbell. “Kurtis has elevated his vision in every way — the film is more elegant, more unsettling, and more twisted. We’re confident it will be one of the most talked-about titles at Cannes.”
