Kate Mara to Star in Vampire Romantic Comedy ‘She Kills Them' by Director Dan Clark, Hailing From Tea Shop Films, the Project (EXCLUSIVE)
Kate Mara ('House of Cards,' 'A Teacher') will star in the vampire romantic comedy 'She Kills Them' directed by Dan Clark. The high-concept feature is produced by London-based Tea Shop Films, whose credits include 'The Surfer,' '47 Meters Down' and 'Fall,' and Paris-based the Project. Matthew E. Chausse is on board as producer. 'She Kills Them' sees Mara playing Chloe Jacobs, a woman in her late 30s living a dangerous double life. By night, she seduces and slays vampires as part of a secret government operation. By day, she's just another jaded New Yorker trying to figure out her personal life. But when she meets Eric — someone she actually connects with — her two worlds collide.

Tea Shop Films and the Project said in a statement, 'We love seeing a romantic comedy with a twist — something that speaks to rom-com fans, genre lovers and young adult audiences all at once.
