Seven new performers have joined the cast of Thud, the upcoming supernatural romantic comedy that pairs the personifications of Death and the Devil at a chaotic destination wedding. The additions — announced as principal photography has wrapped in Los Angeles — expand a roster that already includes Sarah Michelle Gellar and Rudy Pankow.
Thud is directed by Mali Elfman from an original screenplay by Noga Pnueli. The film chronicles how two mythic figures upend a three-day wedding weekend as an unlikely romance develops between them.
New cast additions
- Piper Curda — known for Hoppers
- Sujata Day — known for Insecure
- Sterling Sulieman — known for Scrambled
- Steve Agee — known for Peacemaker
- Karan Soni — known for Deadpool
- Dot-Marie Jones — known for Glee
- Katie Parker — known for The Fall of the House of Usher
The creative team is positioning the movie as a darkly comic love story that blends genre elements with wedding-scenario chaos. That tonal mix, and the casting of established TV and film character actors alongside leads with cult followings, suggests a film aiming for both genre fans and a broader streaming or festival audience.
Behind the scenes
Producers on the project include Derek Bishé and David Grove Churchill Viste. Executive producers are drawn from several production outfits: Lindsay Helms and Joel Nevells of Helmstreet Productions; Greg Gilreath and Adam Hendricks of Divide/Conquer; Tyler Gillett and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin of Radio Silence; plus Dan Lawler and writer-producer Noga Pnueli.
Filming took place in Los Angeles and has officially wrapped principal photography, a sign the project is moving into post-production and closer to distribution planning.
