Billy Magnussen teases his new horror comedy with Ella Purnell [Exclusive]

Billy Magnussen Stars in the next horror comedy Ted Hot As a titular character, who is the perfect guy or a disturbed serial killer … or both. It is a perfect role for the Magnussen in the jaw of lanterns, which played both adorable legs and psychos with dead eyes. He spoke with collider Perri Nemiroff While promoting his new Disney Live-Action remake, Lilo & Stitch. Magnussen teases the tone of the film, which mixes both horror and comedy in a teenage film in adulthood that he compares to a modern classic of the genre:

“There are these mixed elements that occur in the movies now. This is a female version of Superbad. Each good film has a good premise which is an easy understanding. These are young girls who realize that people in their lives that they thought they were safe can be dangerous, and it is terrifying. Someone I believed has always been safe is actually terrifying and Ted Hot This is on this subject. They cannot decide if the camp advisor is great or if he is a serial killer. “”

He promises that there is a lot of horror to go with comedy, however: “But it’s scary! But again, it’s fun. It is the young girls who enter their femininity. You have gone through this part of your life. It’s absurd.” Ted Hot is in development; No release date has yet been set for the film.
