A few months ago, we shared the news that Asa Butterfield (Sex Education) and Natalia Dyer (Stranger Things) would be starring in the horror thriller All Fun and Games, which is being executive produced by Avengers: Endgame directors Joe and Anthony Russo. Now Deadline reports that filming has officially begun on All Fun and Games, and Butterfield and Dyer have been joined in the cast by Keith David (John Carpenter’s The Thing), Annabeth Gish (Midnight Mass), and Benjamin Evan Ainsworth, who plays the title role in Disney’s upcoming version of Pinocchio.

All Fun and Games marks the feature directorial debut of Ari Costa and Eren Celeboglu, who also wrote the screenplay (based on an original spec script written by JJ Braider). The story follows

two kids who play a game with their sadistic older cousin and awaken a cruel entity knows as ‘The Skarrow.’

The production and finance outfits Anton and AGBO are collaborating on this project under the Gozie Agbo banner, “which is geared towards championing indie filmmakers.” One of the previous movies to come from the Gozie Agbo banner was Natalie Erika James’ horror movie Relic.
