Brie recently shared with Marie Claire that she has co-written an untitled new movie with Alice Stanley Jr., who has previously worked on talk show ‘Busy Tonight’.
Much of the details for the movie remain under wraps at this early stage, but it marks a promising step for Brie, who has spent the last few years collaborating with husband and fellow filmmaker Dave Franco (who co-starred with her in ‘Together’).

What’s the story of Alison Brie’s new horror movie?

Brie is really not revealing much about the script that she can Stanley wrote. Brie describes it as “female forward” with a “very fun energy”, and that she knew in her head that she’d end up directing it, describing how she could see shots as she was writing.
This is what she had to say about making the jump to film directing:
“I think women carry a lot of self-doubt and we have a desire to make everything perfect before we attempt something, or we learn everything we can learn. You want to really check the boxes and go, am I prepared for this? And at a certain point you have to just take the leap and believe in yourself.”
This won’t be Brie’s first time calling the shots: she’s previously directed an episode of wrestling drama ‘GLOW’.

Brie is busy at the moment –– she has been promoting ‘Together’ and has ‘Masters of the Universe’ headed to screens next year, where she plays Evil-Lyn.
She also has a role in new movie ‘The Revisionist’ about a novelist’s new work spirals out of control as she weaves real people into her narrative. The film doesn’t yet have a release date set.
Finally, there is a new drama series about a woman entering witness protection after a violent incident with her partner.
When would the new movie be in theaters?
It’s anyone’s guess at this point when the movie might be released –– theatrically or via streaming. But we have faith in Brie pushing forward on it.
