Zoey Deutch, Jonah Hauer-King & Ruby Cruz To Topline Rom-Com ‘The Threesome’

DEADLINE – Zoey Deutch (Not Okay), Jonah Hauer-King (The Little Mermaid) and Ruby Cruz (Bottoms) will star alongside Jaboukie Young-White (Rap Sh!t) and Josh Segarra (Scream IV) in the high-concept romantic comedy The Threesome from Star Thrower Entertainment (King Richard), Filmopoly and Jupiter Peak, which has wrapped production in Arkansas.

Directed by Chad Hartigan (Morris from America) from a script by Ethan Ogilby, The Threesome explores the aftermath of one impulsive, seemingly innocuous decision. When a young man’s perennial crush leads him into an unexpected threesome, he thinks it’s his ultimate fantasy come true. But when the fantasy ends, all three are left with sobering real-world consequences, forcing them to take responsibility for their actions — even if it means compromising the lives they’ve always envisioned.

The film is produced by Tim White and Trevor White for Star Thrower Entertainment, Vince Jolivette for Filmopoly, and Steven Shapiro for Jupiter Peak. Deutch also served as exec producer alongside Jupiter Peak’s Liz & Ken Whitney, Filmopoly’s Angie Sanfilippo and David Garrett, and Allan Mandelbaum. CAA Media Finance will handle domestic rights, with Mister Smith repping international.

Deutch is represented by CAA and Hansen, Jacobson, Teller.

DEADLINE – EXCLUSIVE: Zoey Deutch is set to co-star in the Warner Bros and Clint Eastwood pic Juror #2 starring Nicholas Hoult and Toni Collette. Jonathan Abrams penned the script. Adam Goodman, Matt Skiena, Tim Moore and Jessica Meier will produce.

The pic follows family man Justin Kemp who, while serving as a juror in a high-profile murder trial, finds himself struggling with a serious moral dilemma … one he could use to sway the jury verdict and potentially convict — or free — the wrong killer.

Last year, Deutch starred in a trio of films including The Outfit, opposite Mark Rylance, for which she was nominated for a British Independent Spirit Award; the satirical dramedy Not Okay, which she also produced with Make Ready and Searchlight’s Not Okay (which she exec produced); and Something From Tiffany’s for Amazon and Hello Sunshine which she also executive produced. Other notable credits include Max Winkler’s Flower and Richard Linklater’s Everybody Wants Some.

She is repped by CAA and Gretchen Rush.
