Film Stars Dominic Monaghan, Ksenia Solo & Jennette McCurdy
LOS ANGELES, CA (October 4, 2016) – Orion Pictures and Samuel Goldwyn Films announced today that they have acquired the psychological thriller PET, directed by Carles Torrens and written by Jeremy Slater. The film stars Dominic Monaghan (Lost, THE LORD OF THE RINGS Series), Ksenia Solo (BLACK SWAN, LOST GIRL), and Jennette McCurdy (iCarly, Sam & Cat). PET had its World Premiere at the 2016 South by Southwest Film Festival in Austin. Orion Pictures and Samuel Goldwyn Films will release the film in U.S. theaters and on demand on December 2, 2016, and it will be available on DVD on December 27.
In the vein of HARD CANDY and GONE GIRL, PET is a psychological thriller that deals with the themes of identity, loneliness, selflessness and what it means to truly belong to another. It’s told through the prism of two isolated people, Seth and Holly, seemingly different yet more similar than they even knew. PET is at its heart a dark love story that examines how much one is willing to sacrifice in the name of love.
