EXCLUSIVE: Billy Magnussen and Lulu Wilson have signed to co-star in Joe Lynch’s horror comedy Buzzkill ahead of an early 2026 shoot in Texas, as Anonymous Content and The Veterans join forces to launch sales on the film at the AFM.

Billed as a blend of A Quiet Place and Another Round, the movie is set in a small Texas town terrorized by a creature that can only be seen by people who are drunk.

Magnussen stars as recently widowed and recovering alcoholic Sheriff Red, who launches an investigation as locals begin turning up murdered and dismembered one by one, discovering that the monster feeds on the blood alcohol content of its victims.

With the annual brewery festival fast approaching, the whole town is about to get wasted. Red must face his demons and pick up the bottle one last time to take down the monster and save his town for good. Wilson co-stars as Lydia, Red’s vengeful little sister.

Lynch – whose previous credits include action-thriller Everly and action-horror Mayhem as well as Netflix’s Point Blank, Shudder’s original fantastic horror anthology Creepshow (2021), and the pilot episode of Tales from the Void (2024) – will direct from a screenplay written by Colin McLaughlin.

Brothers Dane and Cole Eckerle are producing through their company Bad Grey, the credits of which include titles like Last Straw and Mother, May I?.

Individually, Dane produced I Love My Dad which won the Audience Award and Grand Jury Prize at SXSW in 2022 and then sold to Magnolia. He also served as an EP on Greedy People with Joseph Gordon Levitt, Lily James, Himesh Patel, Simon Rex and Jim Gaffigan, which was released by Lionsgate last year.

“Colin has crafted a story that’s equal parts hilarious, scary and action-packed — an entertaining romp from start to finish,” said Dane Eckerle.

“Joe Lynch’s track record and ability to create high-octane genre chaos makes him the perfect filmmaker for the job. Add our stars, Billy and Lulu, plus our partners at Anonymous Content and The Veterans — and we couldn’t think of a better team to be brewing this movie alongside.”

Jonathan Schwartz and Nick Shumaker will produce on behalf of Anonymous Content with David Levine executive producing. Magnussen will also produce under his company HappyBad Bungalow, alongside partners Anne Hollister and Shane Andries who serve as co-executive producers.

AC Studios division AC Independent and The Veterans will have a sizzle reel and script available for buyers at the AFM. The Veterans will handle international territories and AC Independent will sell U.S. rights with UTA Independent Film Group.

Magnussen broke through with Rob Marshall’s Into the Woods with other credits including Guy Richie’s Aladdin, the Black Mirror TV Series, and No Time to Die.

He also starred as Pleakley in Disney’s live-action hit Lilo & Stitch and Road House alongside Jake Gyllenhaal and Conor McGregor. He was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Actor for his role in the play, Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike. He will next star as the lead in AMC’s upcoming 2026 series The Audacity from creator Jonathan Glatzer.

Wilson will be seen next in an upcoming Hulu feature alongside Gaten Matarazzo and Sean Giambrone, directed by comedy duo BriTANicK, while she is best known for her horror roles in Ouija: Origin of Evil (2016) and Annabelle: Creation (2017), as well as Mike Flanagan Netflix series The Haunting of Hill House (2018), and The Fall of the House of Usher (2023) and the soon-to-be triptych Becky (2020), The Wrath of Becky (2023) and the upcoming third instalment.

David Lynch’s Los Angeles home on sale for $15 million

David Lynch’s Los Angeles home is on sale for $15 million.

David Lynch’s Los Angeles home is on sale for $15 million

The Twin Peaks director, who died in January 2025 at the age of 78 from cardiac arrest complicated by emphysema, used the Hollywood Hills compound as a base for much of his work, editing Mulholland Drive there, with one of its buildings featured prominently in his 1997 film Lost Highway.

The sale was reported by The Washington Post, which added the late director’s family is urging any buyer to preserve the property’s unique cinematic and architectural legacy.

Marc Silver, listing agent with the Agency Beverly Hills, said demand had been overwhelming.

He added: “Buyers have to be very well prequalified in order to actually have a showing at the property. “The family’s strong desire is that the next owner protects, preserves and honours what David created.”

David’s former compound covers 2.3 acres on Senalda Road and includes seven buildings with 10 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms, spanning more than 11,000 square feet.

At its heart is the Beverly Johnson House, designed in the 1960s by Lloyd Wright, son of Frank Lloyd Wright.

David purchased the house in 1987 and later acquired two neighbouring homes.

One was turned into offices for his company Asymmetrical Productions, while another housed his screening room and editing suite.

Richard Barney, professor of English at the University of Albany, visited the compound three times while interviewing David for a book.

He said: “As soon as you see it, you recognise it, remember it as being the house of the Madisons. It is not as spooky when you’re there as it was made to be in the movie.”

In 1991, David commissioned Eric Lloyd Wright, grandson of Frank Lloyd Wright, to design a pool and pool house.

Mr Silver said this was the only known property to carry contributions from three generations of the Wright family.

He added: “In the time that I’ve been selling real estate, this is probably one of the only properties, if not the only property, that really checks all of these boxes.

“You have the architectural pedigree with Lloyd Wright and Eric Lloyd Wright, but as well as the cultural and historical significance and the cinematic and Hollywood history of David Lynch.”

Mr Barney said despite its size, the compound retained an enigmatic quality.

He added: “It did have a feeling of a maze. There is a part of that he really loved to capture in movies but also in Twin Peaks, like the Black Lodge. Where were you?

“And if you walk down that hallway, had you really arrived anywhere or were you just going in circles?”

David Lynch’s House for Sale for $15 Million

David Lynch’s Hollywood Hills compound has hit the market. Its asking price? $15 million.

Lynch, who died in January, lived on the 2.5-acre estate for over 35 years, and created “Mulholland Drive” and “Lost Highway,” and many more of his works there.

According to listing agent Marc Silver of The Agency Beverly Hills, the Beverly Johnson house was designed in 1963 by Lloyd Wright, son of Frank Lloyd Wright. Recognized by Historic Places LA as an excellent example of mid-century modern/organic residential architecture, the house “embodies the drama of hillside modernism with bold geometry, walls of glass, and a seamless flow between indoors and out.”

After buying the initial property, Lynch expanded and acquired the two neighboring residences on Senalda Drive, including the site of Asymmetrical Productions, his production company.

His home featured both a private editing suite and screening room. Lynch later commissioned Eric Lloyd Wright in 1991 to design the pool and pool house.

Later, he added a two-story guest house and another unique one-bedroom living space finished in his favored smooth grey plaster. Together, the three residences and ancillary structures formed the compound.

The visionary director who died in January was behind the “Twin Peaks” TV show and films such as “Blue Velvet.” He melded elements of horror, film noir, the whodunit and classical European surrealism
