Overview
- Sources reported Monday that Jacob Elordi is in talks to co-star with Scarlett Johansson in Scapegoat, Ari Aster’s next film for A24.
- Ari Aster wrote the screenplay and will direct, with Lars Knudsen producing through Aster’s Square Peg banner and A24 set to distribute.
- The production is actively negotiating and, if a deal with Elordi closes, the plan is to begin shooting later this year.
- Plot details are being tightly held and early coverage has produced unconfirmed speculation about genre and storylines, which trades have not verified.
- Elordi arrives on the project after an Oscar nomination and a busy year that includes Ridley Scott’s The Dog Stars, a profile that industry coverage says has increased interest in his next roles.
