PROJECT DETAILS:
Directed by actor-turned-filmmaker James Roday Rodriguez (Gravy), who was quoted saying: "This is any director’s dream — supportive and mustached producers, an incredible cast and material that defies the ways we try to define ‘genre’ filmmaking. Come for the terror, stay for the storytelling."

Another producer said the following: "We were immediately hooked by James’ vision for a fresh and terrifying curse movie revolving around the notorious lore behind the number 3. Centred on a ride-or-die friendship between two young women, set against the nostalgic backdrop of the 90’s, and underpinned by James’ trademark wit, we know that audiences will find The Rule of Three scary and hilarious in equal measure. And with this being the first in the franchise, there are many jaw-dropping twists and turns to come."

One of the film's producers was quoted saying: "The Rule of Three is the kind of gripping horror that gets under your skin and stays there. It’s a bold, elevated horror with an unsettling psychological edge that taps into something universal – and terrifying…a truly wild ride. With Temple Hill’s expertise in the genre paired with a chillingly sharp concept, this is a must see for horror fans and audiences worldwide."

This is said to be the first in a planned trilogy.

Based on the novel with the same name from author Sam Ripley.
