STXfilms’ President of Production Sam Brown alongside creative executives Marisa Moreno and Alexandria Martin are overseeing the feature on behalf of the studio. Their success with low and mid budget films and their commitment to female and diverse talent, both in front of and behind the camera, make them the ideal home for this film.” We’re thrilled to have put them together, and that our longtime friends at STX will be our partners on this project. We had just worked with Melissa on Scream, where we saw her incredible talent first hand. This screenplay was so unnerving and deeply felt, we knew she was the right director to bring this to the screen. Project X partners Sherak, Vanderbilt and Neinstein added, “We have known Lori both personally and professionally for years and have always been huge fans of her writing. We’re also thrilled to be in business with William, James, Paul and the Team at Project X on a movie that will keep audiences riveted.” Horror has been a consistently successful genre for us at STX, and as a studio with a strong track record supporting female filmmakers, we are proud to be releasing Lori’s directorial debut. We’re also big believers in Melissa Barrera’s talent as an actress to bring this character to life. “Lori Evans Taylor’s script was on the Black List for a reason: her compelling writing comes from a personal point of view we haven’t often seen on the big screen, and that will elevate the material. “ Bed Rest is a chilling supernatural cinematic thriller,” said Adam Fogelson, chairman, STXfilms Motion Picture Group.
