Alison Brie Plans Feature Directorial Debut With Female-Forward Horror Comedy

Alison Brie, recently seen in the body horror film Together alongside her husband Dave Franco, is making her feature directorial debut with a female-forward horror-comedy project she co-wrote with Alice Stanley Jr. The actress expressed that the writing process inspired her to direct the film, envisioning every shot as they wrote. Brie acknowledges the self-doubt many women face when stepping into directing but emphasizes the importance of taking the leap and believing in oneself. This upcoming film marks a significant transition for Brie from acclaimed actress to filmmaker, building on her previous directing experience with episodes of Netflix's GLOW and Marvel 616. Meanwhile, Together has faced a copyright lawsuit claiming it is a rip-off of another indie film, which Brie and associated parties have denied, affirming they have extensive documentation to prove the claims are frivolous. Additional roles for Brie include a villainous part in the Masters of the Universe remake and a lead in an FX pilot, signaling an active and diverse career ahead.
