Charlize Theron Is Joining HBO Max’s The Final Girl Support Group

Charlize Theron is on the point of sit down, have a little bit chat, and cease a serial killer. The actress and producer is engaged on a TV sequence for HBO Max primarily based on Grady Hendrix’s The Final Girl Support Group, which is a few group of slasher survivors who should band collectively after considered one of their very own go lacking.

As reported by Deadline, Theron and her manufacturing firm, Denver & Delilah Films, are teaming up with Barbara and Andy Muschietti to develop The Final Girl Support Group for HBO Max. The e-book tells the story of six “Final Girls,” or the lone girls left alive on the finish of slasher movies, as they meet often for group classes with their therapist. However, they worry that their secret assist group has been found after a member doesn’t present up for considered one of their joint classes. But if there’s one factor these girls are good at, it’s surviving something.

Andy Muschietti, who helmed each It motion pictures and is at present engaged on DC’s The Flash movie, may even direct the pilot. It’s not clear whether or not Theron plans to star within the sequence, both as the primary character Lynnette Tarkington (which is, admittedly, a really foolish title) or any of the opposite fundamental characters within the sequence. Here’s the e-book synopsis: “Lynnette Tarkington is a real-life final girl who survived a massacre. For more than a decade, she’s been meeting with five other final girls and their therapist in a support group for those who survived the unthinkable, working to put their lives back together. Then one woman misses a meeting, and their worst fears are realized—someone knows about the group and is determined to rip their lives apart again, piece by piece. But the thing about final girls is that no matter how bad the odds, how dark the night, how sharp the knife, they will never, ever give up.”

The Final Girl Support Group, which solely got here out this month, is the newest novel from Hendrix to get a small or large display screen adaptation—he’s type of a giant factor in horror proper now. He’s engaged on adapting his debut novel Horrorstör, a few pretend Ikea that tortures its staff, right into a film. In addition, Amazon Studios is engaged on diversifications of My Best Friend’s Exorcism, starring Elsie Fisher and Amiah Miller, and Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires.
