Academy Award winner Ariana DeBose is set to star in the upcoming psychological thriller ‘House of Spoils’ for Prime Video and Blumhouse Television.
The film follows an ambitious chef (Ariana DeBose) who opens her first restaurant – a farm-to-table affair on a remote estate – where she battles kitchen chaos, a dubious investor, crushing self-doubts… and the powerful spirit of the estate’s previous owner who threatens to sabotage her at every turn. The film is said to be a “tense, psychological and sensuous thriller that will leave hearts pounding and mouths watering.”
The film continues a collaboration forged by the two companies in 2019 and will be directed by Bridget Savage Cole and Danielle Krudy from their own script, based on their original idea. House of Spoils reunites Cole, Krudy, Secret Engine, and Amazon Studios following Amazon Studios’ acquisition of worldwide rights to Cole and Krudy’s Blow the Man Down, produced by Secret Engine, ahead of the 2019 Toronto International Film Festival.
