Known more recently for his role as the misogynist superhero The Deep in Prime Video’s fan-favorite series, The Boys, Chace Crawford is diving into the world of thrillers in his upcoming project. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the movie, titled Strobe, will center around the world of EDM (electronic dance music). The feature will also star Suzanna Son (Red Rocket), Grace Van Dien (Stranger Things), and Laura Harrier (Spider-Man: Homecoming).

Backed by Happy Place and Super Frog, the project has reportedly finished production and is on the lookout for a distributor. Strobe serves as the feature-length directorial debut of Taylor Cohen, who has a lengthy list of shorts and music videos under his belt for the likes of Billie Eilish, Nicki Minaj, G-Eazy, and more. Filling out the ensemble cast will be Screen Actors Guild Award winner Mena Suvari (American Beauty), Rohan Campbell (The Monkey), Suraj Sharma (Life of Pie), Steve Howey (True Lies), Bella Murphy (Coming 2 America), and rapper Matt Champion.

In a statement released alongside the announcement, Happy Place founder, Tara Razavi said,

“We’re incredibly excited to bring Strobe to life as Taylor Cohen’s first feature film. Suzanna Son was a perfect creative fit, and we are so lucky to have her in the leading role. Taylor has been a key collaborator in our short-form projects for years, and his ability to craft visually stunning and emotionally resonant stories has always stood out. Now he’s bringing that same innovative energy and style to Strobe which, paired with Suzanna’s and the cast’s remarkable performances, will deliver a truly captivating cinematic experience.”
