EXCLUSIVE: Smile star Sosie Bacon is set to lead R-rated comedy-horror, Brett, which Terrifier 3 sales firm The Coven will commence sales on at this week’s European Film Market in Berlin.

The film follows Abby (Bacon), who returns home with her new fiancé and stumbles upon her cherished childhood ‘Brett’ doll. The doll suddenly awakens and professes his undying love for Abby and intends to prove that he can get all the…parts…of a real boy and win Abby back from her fiancé.

Shane Mack penned the script and will direct. A veteran screenwriter, his Black List scripts include 2020 film Coffee & Kareem. Producer is Louise Runge (Captain Fantastic).

The movie is described by Priscilla Ross Smith of France-based The Coven as “a little bit Ted, a little bit M3GAN…an instant Saturday night must-see.”

“We’re thrilled to bring this deliciously scandalous film to our buyers,” added Kendall Anlian of The Coven. “Sosie has shown she has the chops to start a franchise, and we’re ready to do it again.”

Bacon will star in Neon’s upcoming Family Movie alongside parents Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick and brother Travis Bacon. She will also be seen in the upcoming Amazon series Scarpetta with Nicole Kidman and Jamie Lee Curtis.

The Coven is currently in production on Haunted Heist, starring Lil Rel Howery (who’s also directing), Tiffany Haddish, and Brett Gelman. Also on the slate is Epilogue, alongside EP Mike Flanagan.

Sosie Bacon is repped by Range Media, Gersh, and Schreck Rose.
