AceShowbiz - Dave Franco is set to direct his wife Alison Brie for his first venture behind the camera.
The actor is set to make his filmmaking debut with the thriller "The Rental", which will feature Brie, "Downton Abbey" 's Dan Stevens, Jeremy Allen White, and Sheila Vand.
Written by Franco and Joe Swanberg, the plot of the film follows two couples as they embark on a fun weekend getaway that turns sinister when secrets they've kept from one another begin to emerge.
"I've been wanting to direct a feature for a long time," Franco tells Deadline. "As a viewer, there's nothing I love more than a smart thriller. In writing and directing The Rental, I was inspired by films like Rosemary's Baby, Martha Marcy May Marlene, and Hereditary, all of which elevate the genre beyond cheap jump scares."
