Kristen Roupenian's popular short story 'Cat Person' will soon be adapted into a psychological thriller film, featuring Nicholas Braun and Emilia Jones in the lead roles.
'Cat Person' was first published in 2017 by The New Yorker. It's a story of modern-day romance gone wrong and it follows college student Margot and a 34-year-old man Robert. PTI reports: Roupenian's short story turns on the casual, but increasingly discomfiting, relationship between Margot, a 20-year-old college student, and Robert, 34, a man who goes to the movie theatre where Margot works.
The film will be directed by Susanna Fogel. "Using Kristen's excruciatingly well-observed short story about the horrors of dating as the jumping off point for an actual genre film, 'Cat Person' will explore the hellscape of modern romance and the idea that we have all been the villain in someone else's story, and the victim in others," Fogel said, as quoted by PTI.
The upcoming film will be produced by Studiocanal and Imperative Entertainment in association with 30West, according to Variety.
