Lili Reinhart, Danny Ramirez, Suki Waterhouse, Mark Duplass and Lukas Gage are set to star in "Violet," a psychosexual horror film, Variety reported on 4 November 2026. Psychosexual horror is a genre that digs into desire and the workings of the mind as much as it relies on jump scares.

Patrick Brice will direct the film. The script comes from Nick Antosca and Alana B. Lytle, and it is adapted from Antosca's short story "Ghostfish."

The cast list has three roles so far. Suki Waterhouse plays Violet, Danny Ramirez plays Sean, and Lili Reinhart plays Kate. The announcement did not name the roles for Duplass or Gage.

Money for the film comes from two companies. SK Global and Generator Entertainment are producing and financing it. Kelly McKee and Kenneth Browning will produce for Generator Entertainment, while Elizabeth Haggard and Dylan Tarason will produce for SK Global. Antosca and Alex Hedlund are producing for Eat the Cat, the company tied to the writer. Jeannine Tang, Chris Collins, Rasool Alizadeh, Gemma Levinson and Jackson Stewart are executive producers. Jessica Kelly is the casting director.

Sales are the next step. FilmNation Entertainment will handle domestic and international sales, which means selling the right to show the film in each territory to cinemas and streaming services. FilmNation will start those sales at the American Film Market, a deal-making event where distributors buy and sell films, often before the cameras have rolled.

Production is slated to begin in spring 2027. No release date has been announced, so audiences will have to wait for a later update on when "Violet" reaches screens.

For the actors, the news is a new genre project to point to. For the producers, it is a chance to show buyers a finished package of writer, director, cast and financing before a single day of shooting. Deals like this are often how a film gets from a short story to a screen, and the sales market in November is where that next stage begins.
