Production starts this Autumn in Vancouver, promising eerie imagery and terrifying narratives. Expect a symbolic story, somber photography, and practical effects, and Perkins seems poised to create another terrifying experience that stays with you long after the credits have rolled.

Rising Stars at the Center of the Story

Lola Tung and Nico Parker, two young actors who have swiftly established themselves as big personalities in television and movies, are in the lead roles. Recent roles for Lola Tung, who is most recognized for her starring in the popular television series 'The Summer I Turned Pretty,' have included a horror movie and a Broadway debut in 'Hadestown.' She is an intriguing candidate for a movie that will probably examine themes of adolescence, loneliness, and horror because of her capacity to portray emotional nuance and sensitivity.

Actress Nico Parker, the daughter of Thandiwe Newton, has won praise from critics for her roles in 'Dumbo' and 'The Last of Us.' She will also play the lead in the upcoming live-action version of 'How to Train Your Dragon.' Her appearance in 'The Young People' suggests to a multi-layered performance that may strike a balance between innocence and growing fear—elements that complement Perkins' distinct style of horror.

The First Chapter in a New Era with Neon

Osgood Perkins recently signed a first-look contract with Neon under his Phobos production company, which makes 'The Young People' noteworthy as well. This comes after a stellar run of partnerships that included the recent viral horror sensation 'Longlegs' and the future films 'The Monkey' and 'Keeper' (which is coming to theaters on 14th November). Industry insiders predict a big festival debut after production is over, and Neon will manage the movie's domestic and international distribution. This picture is a strategic next step in Perkins' cinematic career as well as a new creative direction as he continues to develop his unique voice in the horror genre.

With a gripping cast and Osgood Perkins at the helm, 'The Young People' is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about horror films on the horizon. As production gears up this fall, anticipation is only growing for the fans.
