Overview
- Principal photography on Pathetic Fallacy has finished and the project is now in post-production, according to trade reporting.
- Scott “Kid Cudi” Mescudi stars in his first true leading film role opposite Jessica Rothe, Travis Fimmel and Natasha Lyonne, and he said the script “gutted” him and compelled him to take the part.
- The film is directed by Adam Egypt Mortimer from a screenplay by Andrew Barrer and Gabriel Ferrari, combining Mortimer’s surreal-horror sensibility with writers who have mainstream franchise credits.
- Producers include Steven Schneider through Room 101 and a slate of indie genre producers across Rabbits Black, Mad Solar and other companies, and the shoot emphasized a 35mm look for a retro, tactile aesthetic.
- The project features an original score by Johnny Jewel and original songs by Cudi, no distributor or release date has been announced, and the film’s music-forward approach may amplify Cudi’s crossover profile as an actor and musician.
