Aux Features Ilana Glazer
Now that Broad City has officially ended, fans can sufficiently prepare themselves for what’s on deck from co-creator Ilana Glazer. Her next project is a strong departure from her comedy roots in the form of a horror film titled False Positive. The film will be produced by A24 and while there are no available plot details at this time, Production Weekly has noted the story as “a contemporary take on Rosemary’s Baby.” Glazer both co-wrote the script and will star opposite Justin Theroux and Pierce Brosnan.
Per The Hollywood Reporter, filming is set to begin on Monday with Broad City alum John Lee directing. The cast also includes Zainab Jah, Sophia Bush, Gretchen Mol, and Josh Hamilton.

Spoiler Alert: It turns out the real monster was New York all along.
It was the main character AND the MacGuffin!
But New York was the friends we made along the way?
I really don’t like horror, so I selfishly wish comedy people would stop doing horror stuff.
Same
I’m kinda in the same boat. I like elements of the horror genre, but I don’t like being made uncomfortable/grossed out by a film. Basically, I like horror movies if they focus more on action than dread. I love anything by John Carpenter, the Evil Dead trilogy, Cabin in the Woods, etc. But I get freaked out just from the trailers for those Final Destination films. As a big fan of both Ilana Glazer and Jordan Peele, I wish they would make something I’d actually want to watch. But to hell with what I think. Artists gotta do what their instincts tell them to. I hope she makes a flick that gets just as much acclaim as Peele’s Get Out. She deserves it.
I’m very glad artists don’t make art specifically tailored to your tastes.
Rude
Selfish
I said that already. Copycat
Justin Theroux? Farkin’ Justin Theroux?Bye Ilana.
Aniston stan?
He’s gross.
yeah, we’re going to need more evidence than that. You seem disturbed.
Anistan?
“Anistan”
I’d watch Justin Theroux with the tv on mute. As a matter of fact, I typically do.
Bye Ilana.
I thought she was pretty good in Green Room.
I’m very surprised Ilana is willing to work with Brosnan.
Why? He seems like a charming and all around nice fella.
What driveby outrage is this now?
HE’S IRISH!
Good Christ, you’re outraged by a comment and you don’t even know what they’re talking about yet.
Glazer following the Jordan Peele method I see. I approve.
Hmm, not sure if that path will work for everyone.
