Harmony Korine Lines Up Anime Thriller ‘The Trap,’ Prepares Mo-Cap Comedy; Backs Feature Debut From Music Video Director Stillz (EXCLUSIVE)
Harmony Korine has lined up his next two films, “The Trap” which marks his animated debut, and a mo-cap assisted comedy, through his banner EDGLRD.
Described as “Oldboy” set through a hip-hop filter, “The Trap” imagines another sun-kissed gangster saga, following an ex-con newly released from prison and deadset on revenge once he learns that his one-time accomplice has become a top-selling rapper. Originally set-up at Annapurna, “The Trap” nearly saw day as a live-action feature meant to star Jamie Foxx and Benecio del Toro before the project collapsed shortly before production. Back in Miami, EDGLRD is now ramping up pre-production on a Korine-directed comedy — also pulled from an earlier script, though additional details are hazy — that will build on in-house experiments with motion capture tech and virtual creation.
