Universal Releases A Second Trailer For Thriller Drop

Everyone Could Be A Suspect

Universal Pictures just released a second trailer for its forthcoming thriller Drop so here it is…

First dates are nerve-wracking enough. Going on a first date while an unnamed, unseen troll pings you personal memes that escalate from annoying to homicidal? Blood-chilling.
Director Christopher Landon returns to the thriller genre with the playful, keep-you-guessing intensity he perfected in the Happy Death Day films with this of-the-moment whodunnit where everyone in the vicinity is a suspect . . . or victim. Drop is jointly produced by blockbuster genre houses Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes.

Emmy nominee Meghann Fahy, breakout star of White Lotus and The Perfect Couple, plays Violet, a widowed mother on her first date in years, who arrives at an upscale restaurant where she is relieved that her date, Henry (It Ends with Us’ Brandon Sklenar) is more charming and handsome than she expected. But their chemistry begins to curdle as Violet begins being irritated and then terrorized by a series of anonymous drops to her phone.

She is instructed to tell nobody and follow instructions or the hooded figure she sees on her home security cameras will kill Violet’s young son and babysitting sister. Violet must do exactly as directed or everyone she loves will die. Her unseen tormentor’s final directive? Kill Henry.

The film also stars Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) as Violet’s sister, Jen, and newcomer Jacob Robinson as Violet’s son, Toby; with Reed Diamond (Moneyball), Gabrielle Ryan (Power Book IV: Force), Jefferay Self (Mack & Rita), Ed Weeks (The Mindy Project) and Travis Nelson (The Lake) as the restaurant’s staff and diners.

Drop is directed by acclaimed filmmaker Christopher Landon, the writer-director of last year’s We Have a Ghost and the zeitgeist-rattling Blumhouse hits Freaky, Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones and the Happy Death Day films. The film is written by Jillian Jacobs & Chris Roach, writers of Blumhouse’s Truth or Dare and Fantasy Island.

The film is produced by Michael Bay (Transformers films, A Quiet Place franchise) and by Brad Fuller P.G.A. (A Quiet Place films, The Purge franchise) and Cameron Fuller P.G.A. (The Astronaut) for Platinum Dunes and by Jason Blum (Five Nights at Freddy’s, M3GAN) for Blumhouse. The film is executive produced by Ron Lynch, Sam Lerner and Macdara Kelleher.

The film’s director of photography is Marc Spicer ACS (Escape Room, Furious 7), the production designer is Susie Cullen (Abigail, Sexy Beast) and the costume designer is Gwen Jeffares-Hourie (Abigail, costume supervisor Cocaine Bear). The editor is Ben Baudhuin (We Have a Ghost, Freaky) and the music is by Emmy winner and three-time Grammy nominee Bear McCreary (Happy Death Day films, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power). The casting is by Terri Taylor CSA (M3GAN, Five Nights at Freddy’s), Sarah Domeier Lindo CSA (M3GAN, Five Nights at Freddy’s) and Ally Conover CSA (Speak No Evil, Wolf Man).
