Jacob Batalon, Alana Boden, More Set to Star in Horrorscope Film Adaptation

Jacob Batalon, Alana Boden, Adain Bradley, and Avantika are all set to star in an upcoming film adaptation of the graphic novel Horrorscope.

The graphic novel — which released in 2021 — is itself an adaptation of a book which was written by Brian Evans, Mark Andrew Blitz, and Helen Marie Bousquet in 2014. Horrorscope tells the story of a group of college friends who get their horoscopes read and begin dying in ways connected to their fortunes. The group must then figure out if they can do anything to stop this from happening.

Filming is expected to begin sometime this fall according to Deadline, with a script written by Anna Halberg and Spenser Cohen, both of whom will be directing the film in their directorial debuts.

Batalon is best known for his work in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Ned Leeds, the best friend of Tom Holland’s Peter Parker/Spider-Man. Batalon is also set to produce and star as the titular character Reginald Baskin in Syfy’s upcoming Reginald the Vampire, as well as the Netflix heist thriller Lift alongside Kevin Hart.

Boden is set to star in A&E/Lifetime MOW’s Flowers In The Attic: The Origins as well as the upcoming film The Invitation. Bradley recently starred in HBO Max’s Industry, while Avantika recently starred alongside Rebel Wilson in Senior Year, a film that reached #1 on Netflix for two weeks following its release in May.
