Charles Melton and Elizabeth Olsen set for Todd Solondz’s Love Child

February 14, 2024 by EJ Moreno

Elizabeth Olsen and Charles Melton will come together for an upcoming new dark comedy as the actors will star in Todd Solondz’s new feature Love Child.

As per the synopsis, the film follows Misty as she is stuck in a loveless marriage with a brutish husband and her precocious 11-year-old as her only consolation. When Easy, a handsome vagabond stranger, appears, the son hatches a plan to replace the father with a new husband, only for that to backfire and a more devious and disastrous scheme to emerge.

“I am beyond excited to work with Elizabeth Olsen and Charles Melton on what will be a super fun and playful celebration of Hollywood movies,” Solondz said in a statement, with Olsen adding: “I am a long-time fan of Todd’s work, and to collaborate with him on this film is a true dream.”

Charles Melton is fresh off May December, which thrust the actor into the prestige film world after years on Riverdale. As for Olsen, the prolific actress has made her name as Wanda in the MCU and a string of indie smashes.

THR reports that Cindy Bru of Volition Media, Christine Vachon of Killer Films, David Hinojosa of 2AM, and Ford Corbett of Gramercy Park Media will produce. Michael Jefferson, Adam Beasley, Atilla Yucer, Joshua Harris, and Steven Farneth will executive produce. Cinetic Media and WME are handling the U.S. rights and sales at EFM.
