Phoebe Dynevor Joins Joseph Gordon-Levitt in Darren Aronofsky-Produced ‘Pendulum’

Less than a week after it was announced that Phoebe Dynevor will star with Jake Gyllenhaal in M. Night Shyamalan‘s upcoming next film, the “Bridgerton” actress is adding another genre project to her resume.

Deadline reports that Dynevor will star opposite Joseph Gordon-Levitt in Pendulum from producer Darren Aronofsky (Black Swan, Requiem for a Dream).

Black Swan and The Boogeyman screenwriter Mark Heyman will make his feature directorial debut from his own script.

Described as a “terrifying new genre film,” Pendulum follows young couple Patrick and Abigail on a journey to a new-age retreat in New Mexico, drawn by the possibility of healing after a traumatic event.

Patrick is willing to do anything to help his wife but becomes distrustful of the retreat’s enigmatic leader even as Abigail falls under her spell. As paranoia builds, the couple must determine if the group’s unconventional spiritual practices offer genuine healing – or mask a terrifying truth that threatens to consume them both.

Aronofsky will produce through his Protozoa outfit along with Jacob Jaffke (X, Dream Scenario) for Motel Mojave and Dave Caplan (Longlegs, The Monkey) for C2, which will also fully finance.

Principal photography will start this month in New Mexico. UTA Independent Film Group, CAA Media Finance, and WME Independent hold the domestic rights.
