Reply to comment by Dirtyswashbuckler69 in The Weeknd, Jenna Ortega And Barry Keoghan To Star In New Film From Trey Edward Shults by DemiFiendRSA

You would think Jenna Ortega and Barry Keoghan being attached to this would be enough they are quickly becoming the top rising actors in the industry.

I don’t know how to feel about The Weeknd his talent level in terms of acting is undetermined right now he does have a HBO show with Sam Levinson that’s supposed to release this year though.

Per the article, it sounds like Keoghan and Ortega became attached after The Weeknd’s involvement, as he and Shults had been working on the film together for quite sometime before reaching out to them. I wouldn’t be surprised if The Weeknd’s attachment is what helped get this film on Ortega and Keoghan’s radar.
