The upcoming thriller The Process is set to be directed by Tara Miele, Deadline reports this afternoon, and Academy Award winner Halle Berry has been attached to star.
Halle Berry will also be producing the cult-based psychological thriller.
Deadline reports, “FilmNation Entertainment will launch international sales for the film at AFM with Verve Ventures and WME Independent co-repping North American rights.”
“The story follows a seemingly happily married couple, who attend the weekend seminar of Aiden, a renowned self-help guru, and are asked to examine their individual lives, careers, and ultimately their marriage, but when Kirsa resists Aiden’s “process” and his cult of committed volunteers, and Peter buys in, their relationship and sanity are quickly put to the test.”
Levin Menekse wrote the screenplay, which originally appeared on the Black List.
“We are thrilled to be working with HalleHolly to bring Levin’s amazing screenplay to the screen. Tara’s vision for the film—a Kubrickian psychological thriller taking us down the rabbit-hole of self-help cults, and Halle’s interpretation of the film’s lead character, Kirsa—a woman fighting to preserve her marriage and her sanity amid an oppressive cult of personality, will leave audiences breathless,” said producers Robert Kravis and Karl Herrmann from Pioneer Pictures.
“It’s so rare to find a script like Levin Menekse’s The Process that is gripping, emotionally resonant, and feels essential in this moment. I’m thrilled to get to bring this gem to life and to collaborate with Halle Berry, who brings such raw, real presence to the screen as an actress and is also an incredibly thoughtful collaborator and savvy producer,” said Miele.
