Selena Gomez Is in Talks to Star in a NYC Fashion-Themed Horror Movie, 'Dollhouse'
Selena Gomez isn't just doing a new TV series based in New York; according to Variety, the singer is now in talks to do a horror movie based on the city's
"elite fashion scene" called Dollhouse.Variety described the film as a psychological thriller and Black Swan-esque. Gomez will also produce the project.
STXfilms Motion Picture Group chairman Adam Fogelson told Variety that “Selena’s involvement is an exciting direction for this project. She is supremely talented as both a star and a producer. Teaming Selena with Shawn and Dan’s expertise in the horror-thriller genre will elevate ‘Dollhouse’ and we couldn’t be more thrilled by the way this is being developed.”
In August, Gomez was announced as joining Hulu's comedy series Only Murders in the Building. According to Deadline, the series "follows three strangers (Steve Martin, Martin Short and Gomez) who share an obsession with true crime and suddenly find themselves wrapped up in one." She is also executive producing that series.
Short said in an interview with The Daily Beast that the show will start shooting this month. "It’s supposed to start filming in October, in New York," he told the outlet in August. "It’s called Only Murders in the Building. And it’s about three people who live in one of those upscale apartment buildings in New York. They see each on the elevator, they kind of nod, but they never really speak. They don’t even know each other’s names. And then you find out that each one of them goes to their individual apartments and just turns on true crime and obsesses. And then one time they’re in the elevator with this fourth person. And they find out that fourth person is killed and they’re determined to solve it. But they make a pact: only murders in the building will they solve. Because they can’t be bothered to go outside.”
