Jack Reynor Joins Lily James in Horror Film Based on Viral Reddit Story
Jack Reynor, known for his role in Midsommar, is joining the cast of an upcoming horror film called Seasons, according to a report from Deadline. Lily James is also attached to the project. The film is directed by the filmmaker behind Companion and is based on a viral horror short story originally posted to Reddit by writers Matt and Harrison Query. The project has been in development for some time, having first been announced back in 2020 under a different working title, 'My Wife and I Bought a Ranch,' before being retitled Seasons. No release date has been announced as of this report. The story's origins on Reddit gave it a wide audience before it made its way to a formal film adaptation. Details about the plot remain limited based on available information, though the original Reddit story appears to have built enough of a following to attract notable talent both behind and in front of the camera.
Jason's TakeI don't know the Reddit story this is based on, but the fact that it started as a piece of online horror fiction and is now pulling in cast members like Jack Reynor and Lily James tells you something about how that community finds genuinely unsettling material. I'm curious whether the finished film keeps the raw, grounded feel that makes those Reddit horror stories work in the first place. That's usually where adaptations lose the plot, so to speak.
