Cristin Milioti, known for her remarkable character in How I Met Your Mother, officially joins an upcoming horror movie.
From portraying a short yet iconic role in the hit CBS show, the 39-year-old actress will once again captivate viewers with a chilling performance.
The soon-to-be-released movie titled Buddy is an independent horror thriller, described as “a new experience in horror,” further heightening anticipation among genre fans.
Meanwhile, as production continues, executives are keeping the plot tightly under wraps to maintain the film’s mystery.
Helmed by Casper Kelly, who is best known for co-creating Adult Swim shows like the horror comedy Too Many Cooks and Your Pretty Face Is Going to Hell, the project was written by Kelly and Jamie King (World’s Best) as cited by Deadline.
Producing the project are BoulderLight Pictures’ J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules together with Tyler Davidson and Drew Sykes for Low Spark Films, which co-financed the project in association with Sipur Studios and Substance.
In addition, Tracy Rosenblum, BoulderLight’s VP of Development and Production, is executive producing Buddy.
As mentioned, Milioti is best known for her role as the Mother in the American sitcom, but also gained recognition for her portrayal of Sofia Falcone in the drama series The Penguin with Colin Farrell.
