AFM Hot Project: Rosamund Pike to Star in Body Horror ‘Feed’

The 'Gone Girl' star will also produce the film from 'Russian Doll' director Leslye Headland, with The Veterans launching sales at AFM. Gone Girl star Rosamund Pike will star and produce the body horror film, from Russian Doll director Leslye Headland. Oscar-nominated Gone Girl actress Rosamund Pike is set to star in and produce Feed, a body horror project from director Leslye Headland (The Acolyte, Russian Doll), which The Veterans is pitching to buyers at the American Film Market next week. Pike plays Erin, a desperate mother determined to make her tween gymnast daughter a star influencer. She finds an obscure collagen supplement that appears to help, but as fame and success arrive, her daughter begins a monstrous transformation.

Daniella Isaacs (People Who Knew Me) penned the script to Feed, inspired by Hanna Bergholm’s 2022 Finnish horror Hatching. Pike will produce through her Primitive Streak banner, alongside Shelley Browning for Magnolia Entertainment, Steven Schneider for Spooky Pictures, Ara Keshishian and Petr Jakl for ZQ Entertainment, and Sam Ritzenberg for Agile Films.
