Gaga Corporation has secured Japan rights to Max and Sam Eggers' upcoming psychological horror The Front Room from A24.
It marks the feature directorial debut of the Eggers Brothers, whose sibling Robert Eggers has worked with A24 on The Witch and The Lighthouse. Max, who co-wrote The Lighthouse, and Sam, who co-wrote Olympia, adapted the screenplay from Susan Hill's short story of the same name and the feature is in post-production.
The pre-buy builds on previous deals between Gaga and A24 that have included Everything Everywhere All At Once, nominated in 11 categories for this year's Academy Awards, and Minari, for which Yuh-Jung Youn won the best supporting actress Oscar in 2021.
"We trust A24 for its originality - especially for horror films. In Japan, A24 titles such as Midsommar did really well," says Chizu Ogiya, general manager of acquisitions at Gaga. "Also, one of the main cast is Kathryn Hunter. We were impressed by her performance in her previous film [The Tragedy Of Macbeth] and it made us believe in The Front Room."
The film, which also stars Brandy Norwood and Andrew Burnap, follows a young, newly pregnant couple who are forced to take in an ailing stepmother who has long been estranged from the family.
Gaga picked up the title at last year's American Film Market (AFM) after reading the script.

It means that one of the international markets that the film will be shown in is Japan. This Japanese company (Gaga) bought the rights to it there.
YESSSS!!!! Our international queen and Japan loves her Blasian lookin self too

I think this film is gonna be really big for her and push her acting career to new heights.
i wonder if she'll attend some high profile events like oscars, MET Gala etc since she'll have 3 movies out this year. :rthosehotwings:

As long as Bran gave a descent performance her name should be in the award season mix next year even if it's just on the indie award season circuit. Even with that her agent and cousin would then be able to brand her as a critically acclaimed actress when it comes to negotiations. She has a new acting coach Amy London, so I think sis delivered.
We should at least be getting TIFF, Cannes (if post-production is scheduled to be done by then), and other film festival appearances from her
I can definitely see BRANDyl Streep being taken seriously as an actress. If Cher can win an Oscar for Best Actress, then Ghan can too. :ohwow:

Hbhhhhhdfgghhhhhhhh
I'm looking forward to this movie.
But where is Brandy at with this MUSIC?!? I feel like we haven't heard anything since the top of the year.

she was ready to come with it but Ethiopia left Motown before they could lay her off as they were about to lay off a bunch of different executives and now i think Motown is merging back into Capitol records so it's just a big mess that has to be figured out. All business stuff out of Brandy's control unfortunately
Try not to hype up this project too much. I am hoping for the best, but plenty of A24 films fly under the radar.

Oh wow, didn't know that they were going to get rid of Ethiopia. She seems like a nice lady & worked to get into that position. I believe this year for Bran is acting focused even with the writers strike. I just read that many productions are happening for scripts that were already written prior to this month. When she gets silent on IG she's usually filming. Any music that will come will likely be for Disney productions.
IMDB updated as of 1/2024 it is still in post-production
