Chiwetel Ejiofor & Cristin Milioti Eyed To Star In ‘The Backrooms’ At A24
A24's 'The Backrooms' has Chiwetel Ejiofor and Cristin Milioti in talks to star, Deadline can confirm.
A prodigy of a filmmaker and VFX artist barely out of high school, Parsons shot his YouTube following into the stratosphere with the viral success of his mysterious short, “The Backrooms (Found Footage).” It’s the first in a series of found-footage horror videos which have garnered many, many millions of views online and will now be adapted for the big screen by A24, Atomic Monster, Chernin Entertainment and 21 Laps. Most recently seen starring in Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, Ejiofor is part of the cast of Mike Flanagan’s The Life of Chuck, which Neon releases in June, as well as Scarlett Johansson’s Cannes-premiering debut feature Eleanor the Great. Coming off of rave reviews for her work in The Penguin and another stand-out Black Mirror turn in USS Calister: Into Infinity, Miloti most recently boarded the FX pilot Seven Sisters.
