Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega will star in A24 film ‘Death of a Unicorn’ with the plot being about a father and daughter running over a unicorn on their way home.

Not much is known about the plot of the film, but it is said to follow a father and daughter who run over a unicorn on their way home. According to a spokesperson for the studio, A24 is not part of the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers. Meaning that they should be allowed to move forward with shooting their indie films. No one knows how long both the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes will go on, so the news that these low-budget productions can go forward is pretty good news.

Last week, SAG-AFTRA announced that they would be going on strike, joining the Writers Guild of America in their ongoing strike after negotiations with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers failed. Production on all major film productions has already ceased, but it seems that due to a stipulation in contract terms, some indie films can continue production. According to Variety, one of the major films that can continue production is A24’s upcoming film Death of a Unicorn, which will feature Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega as a father and daughter. Death of a Unicorn will be directed by Alex Scharfman, who will also pen the script, and is expected to begin filming in Hungary soon.

In addition to Jenna Ortega and Paul Rudd’s Death of a Unicorn, another A24 film, Mother Mary starring Anne Hathaway and Michaela Coel, is moving forward. Flight Risk, starring Mark Wahlberg and directed by Mel Gibson, along with Dust Bunny, which brings together Mads Mikkelson and Sigourney Weaver, are both filming during the strike.

In a rundown of movies approved to continue shooting during the strike by SAG-AFTRA, the upcoming black comedy horror movie was mentioned, with the note it’s shooting soon in Hungary. As reported, thanks to our trusted and proven sources, Jenna Ortega and Paul Rudd will be playing a father and daughter duo that comes across a real unicorn.
