What do we know about the new A24 movie with The Long Walk stars?

Per The Hollywood Reporter, Jonsson and Hoffman are now in talks to reunite for a new A24 drama movie titled The Chaperones.

“The script sees a drug dealer and his two slacker buddies hired to transport a troubled teen across the country,” the article notes.

The Chaperones is being helmed by India Donaldson, who made her feature film directorial debut with 2024’s Good One. That movie, which stars Lily Collias and James Le Gros, screened at the Sundance Film Festival, Cannes Film Festival, and more.

The screenplay comes from Sebastian Black, while Adam Wyatt Tate will serve as an executive producer. Plan B and Icki Eneo Arlo are producing the movie, which is expected to begin filming later this fall in Ohio and New Mexico. A release date for The Chaperones has not yet been set.

In addition to starring in The Long Walk, Jonsson is known for playing Andy Carradine in 2024’s Alien: Romulus, while his filmography also includes 2023’s Rye Lane and 2024’s Bonhoeffer. Additionally, he plays Augustus “Gus” Sackey in HBO’s Industry and has been in other television shows such as Endeavour, Deep State, and The Road Trip.

Hoffman, meanwhile, made his acting debut in Paul Thomas Anderson’s Licorice Pizza, which was released in 2021. He has since appeared in 2023’s Wildcat, 2024’s Old Guy, and 2024’s Saturday Night, while he’ll soon be seen in Maude Apatow’s Poetic License and Gregg Araki’s I Want Your Sex.
