Lola Tung from The Summer I Turned Pretty and Nico Parker from How To Train Your Dragon will star in The Young People, the first feature under Osgood Perkins’ first-look deal with Neon.
The company is co-financing with Lyrical Media, and will release the film theatrically in the US and commence international talks with buyers at TIFF next week.
Perkins is producing with his partner Chris Ferguson for Phobos, and Brian Kavanaugh-Jones for Range.
Production is set to begin this fall in Vancouver and plot details remain under wraps.
Neon and Perkins first partnered on the 2024 smash Longlegs that earned $75m in North America and $127m worldwide. That was followed by early 2025 release The Monkey. Next up is Perkins’ Keeper on November 14.
Neon’s international sales slate includes Takashi Miike’s upcoming Bad Lieutenant: Tokyo starring Shun Oguri and Lily James; Kevin Bacon’s Family Movie with Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick; Her Private Hell from Nicolas Winding Refn starring Sophie Thatcher and Charles Melton; TIFF Midnight Madness entry Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie from Matt Johnson and Jay McCaroll; and Shelby Oaks from writer-director Chris Stuckmann.
Lyrical Media is currently in post-production on Adam Wingard’s Onslaught and Michael Sarnoski’s The Death Of Robin Hood starring Hugh Jackman, Jodie Comer, and Bill Skarsgård. Their pipeline includes Funny Story, an adaptation of Emily Henry’s romantic comedy Butcher & Blackbird, and TV adaptation Powerless.
