Talia Ryder, Elizabeth Marvel, Bill Camp Join STX Thriller PRƎPPY

Talia Ryder will play a third lead role in the true-crime thriller PRƎPPY, opposite Kit Connor and Diana Silvers, according to Deadline. Elizabeth Marvel and Bill Camp have also joined the cast and will portray a married couple in the film.

Janicza Bravo is directing PRƎPPY, which is backed by STX Entertainment and Aggregate Films. Production is underway in Manhattan.

The film is based on an original screenplay by David Levine and Rose Lichter-Marck. It explores the summer of 1986 leading to the murder of recent high school graduate Jennifer Levin by Robert Chambers, a former Manhattan private-school student, in New York's Central Park. Chambers was dubbed the 'Preppy Killer' in the case.

Jason Bateman, Michael Costigan and John Buderwitz are producing for Aggregate, alongside Peter Coleman and Paula Manzanedo for STX, and Bravo.
