HEART EYES' star Mason Gooding

Scream‘s Mason Gooding and Totally Killer‘s Olivia Holt are set to star in Spyglass’ Heart Eyes, from director Josh Ruben (Werewolves Within, Scare Me)

Ruben will direct from a screenplay written by Phillip Murphy (The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard) Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) and Michael Kennedy (Freaky, It’s a Wonderful Knife).

Heart Eyes‘ plot synopsis, via Deadline, who reported the news today, reads as follows:

When the Heart Eyes Killer strikes Seattle, a pair of co-workers pulling overtime on Valentine’s Day are mistaken for a couple by the elusive couple-hunting killer. Now they must spend the most romantic night of the year running for their lives

Deadline also let us know that Landon and Divide/Conquer’s Greg Gilreath and Adam Hendricks (M3gan, Totally Killer) are producing. Spyglass’ Gary Barber and Chris Stone will serve as EPs with Murphy.

In a statement, Ruben let us know just how excited he is to bring us this blend of genres:

“My love of horror is rivaled only by my love of romantic comedies. I’m excited as hell to mount my most challenging genre bender to date: a brutal slasher in a nostalgic rom-com universe.”

Heart Eyes joins Scream and Thanksgiving in what Deadline has dubbed Spyglass’ “campy horror canon”, and we’re inclined to agree with them!

With so much horror talent behind and in front of the camera, Heart Eyes just shot straight to the top of our most anticipated list. We’ll bring you updates as they roll in!
