Neon has revealed the official trailer for Cuckoo, the horror film written and directed by Tilman Singer. The movie had its world premiere at the 74th Berlin International Film Festival on February 16 and will open in theaters on August 9.
A Fiction Park and Waypoint Entertainment production, Cuckoo was rated R by the MPA for violence, bloody images, language, and brief teen drug use.
Reluctantly, 17-year-old Gretchen leaves her American home to live with her father, who has just moved into a resort in the German Alps with his new family.

“Euphoria” breakout Hunter Schafer is playing yet another teen trying to outrun her familial drama, except this time, it’s a surreal matter of life or death. Schafer leads “Cuckoo,” written and directed by “Luz” filmmaker Tilman Singer.
Six years after Singer’s 2018 feature debut, “Cuckoo” centers on 17-year-old Gretchen (Schafer) who is forced to leave her American home to live with her father (Márton Csókás) in a resort in the German Alps with his new wife (Jessica Henwick) and family. Yet it’s her father’s boss Mr. Konig (Dan Stevens) and his obsession with Gretchen’s mute half-sister Alma (Mila Lieu) that unlocks a larger, more sinister presence at the resort. Gretchen becomes haunted by strange noises and bloody visions until she discovers a shocking secret that also concerns her own family. Jan Bluthardt and Greta Fernandez also star in the horror film.

Neon has formed a strategic financial partnership with Ken Kao’s Waypoint Entertainment, the full-service production company behind The Favourite and The Nice Guys, to deliver a slate “of bold, genre-spanning films for savvy theatrical audiences,” the distributor said. The partners will focus on larger indies in the $10+ million range.
Neon said the investment will expand its production and distribution arms. A non-exclusive venture, it comes after Neon and Waypoint’s recent collaboration on Tilman Singer’s Cuckoo starring Hunter Schafer and Dan Stevens, which debuted in the U.S. at SXSW following its world premiere in Berlin last month. Neon will release Cuckoo in theaters this spring.
There were no details of Waypoint’s financial commitment or the number of films contemplated. Neon, led by Tom Quinn, said further details on the slate will be announced in the near future.

Neon, the studio that backed Oscar-winners “Anatomy of a Fall” and “Parasite,” has ironed out a deal with Waypoint Entertainment, the production company behind “The Favourite” and “The Nice Guys,” to bring more mid-budget movies to the big screen.
The deal follows the company’s collaboration on the Hunter Schafer-led horror movie “Cuckoo,” which premiered at the Berlin Film Festival and SXSW. Waypoint’s investment will allow Neon to expand its production and distribution efforts, something it’s been attempting to do since the New York-based distributor explored a sale in 2022 as a way to grow its business. Though a deal with investor Steven Rales, the wealthy businessman who founded the production company Indian Paintbrush, never came to fruition, Neon has managed to bolster its footprint. It recently launched an international sales division to handle the global distribution of its films.

Exclusive: Brad Anderson has been set to direct In Search of Captain Zero, a film based on Allan Weisbecker’s true-life novel of the same name that has been adapted by Michael Bacall. The project hails from Ken Kao’s Waypoint Entertainment, which recently produced Yorgos Lanthimos’ Oscar-nominated The Favorite, with Kao and Mike Weber aboard as producers and Josh Rosenbaum and Ted Field executive producing.

Anderson is currently in post on Fracture, the Netflix movie starring Sam Worthington and Lily Rabe.
