Exciting Film News for The Rule of Three by Sam Ripley

Beware, Beware, The Rule of Three, It’s coming for you, like it came for me… Are Amy (Douglas) and her family plagued by a deadly curse? Every three years, death strikes under mysterious circumstances, horrifically killing family members. It’s almost three years to the day since Amy’s parents’ death, and Amy realises the curse must strike her next. With the help of her best friend Lizzy (McKenzie), the two friends try to cheat Amy’s death and find a way to reverse the curse. But is Amy’s fate already sealed? Bad things always happen in threes, so they say…

Sam Ripley’s THE RULE OF THREE is taking to the screen! Thomasin McKenzie (Last Night in Soho, Eileen) and Katie Douglas (Clown in a Cornfield) are set to star in the upcoming horror adaptation from producers Temple Hill Entertainment (Smile, Clown in a Cornfield) and Protagonist Pictures (The Brutalist, Clown in a Cornfield), in collaboration with James Roday Rodriguez and Todd Harthan’s new shingle, Taft Tennis.

“This is any director’s dream — supportive and mustached producers, an incredible cast and material that defies the ways we try to define ‘genre’ filmmaking. Come for the terror, stay for the storytelling,” commented Rodriguez.

“The Rule of Three is the kind of gripping horror that gets under your skin and stays there,” said Protagonist’s Dave Bishop. “It’s a bold, elevated horror with an unsettling psychological edge that taps into something universal – and terrifying… a truly wild ride. With Temple Hill’s expertise in the genre paired with a chillingly sharp concept, this is a must-see for horror fans and audiences worldwide.”

The hope is for The Rule of Three to be the first installment in a trilogy based on the 2024 horror-thriller novel by Ripley. The producers are set to launch sales of the first film at the upcoming Cannes market.
