Vertical Acquires Chad Hartigan Rom-Com ‘The Threesome' Starring Zoey Deutch, Jonah Hauer-King & Ruby Cruz
EXCLUSIVE: Vertical has acquired North American rights to director Chad Hartigan's romantic comedy The Threesome, starring Zoey Deutch (Juror #2), Jonah Hauer-King (The Little Mermaid), and Ruby Cruz (Bottoms), slating the film for release in theaters on September 5. World premiering recently at SXSW, the film takes place one fateful night, as the stars appear to align for Connor (Hauer-King), a kind and unassuming young man, as his irreverent long-time crush Olivia (Deutch) steers them into a threesome with alluring stranger Jenny (Cruz). The encounter sparks a relationship between Connor and Olivia and their love grows quickly, all the way toward planning a life together. But their happy romance is soon demolished when Jenny reappears in their lives, thrusting all three into a difficult and messy journey towards true accountability and adulthood.
