Join stars Meghann Fahy and Brandon Sklenar, along with director Christopher Landon, for a behind-the-scenes look at Drop in this video for the upcoming thriller movie. Drop also stars Violett Beane, Jacob Robinson, Reed Diamond, Gabrielle Ryan, Jeffery Self, Ed Weeks, and Travis Nelson.
First dates are nerve-wracking enough. Going on a first date while an unnamed, unseen troll pings you personal memes that escalate from annoying to homicidal? Blood-chilling.
Meghann Fahy (White Lotus and The Perfect Couple) plays Violet, a widowed mother on her first date in years, who arrives at an upscale restaurant where she is relieved that her date, Henry (It Ends with Us’ Brandon Sklenar) is more charming and handsome than she expected. But their chemistry begins to curdle as Violet begins being irritated and then terrorized by a series of anonymous drops to her phone.
She is instructed to tell nobody and follow instructions or the hooded figure she sees on her home security cameras will kill Violet’s young son and babysitting sister. Violet must do exactly as directed or everyone she loves will die. Her unseen tormentor’s final directive? Kill Henry.
The film is produced by Jason Blum (Five Nights at Freddy’s, M3GAN) for Blumhouse and by Michael Bay (Transformers films, A Quiet Place franchise), Brad Fuller (A Quiet Place films, The Purge franchise) and Cameron Fuller (The Astronaut) for Platinum Dunes. The executive producer is Sam Lerner. The film is written by Jillian Jacobs & Chris Roach, writers of Blumhouse’s Truth or Dare and Fantasy Island.
Drop, directed by Christopher Landon (We Have a Ghost, Freaky, Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones, and the Happy Death Day films), opens in theaters on April 11, 2025.

00:00The stakes are really high.
00:02Life or death, it's a situation that feels pretty inescapable.
00:05So, how's the date going?
00:07Violet is a single mom who is getting back out into the dating scene for the first time in a while.
00:13And gets blindsided by some very disturbing and confusing drops on her phone.
00:20Someone keeps digi-dropping me.
00:21I think it could be anyone in the restaurant.
00:25She has been tasked with murdering her date.
00:28Her date is not allowed to know about any of it.
00:31Violet, everything okay?
00:32Violet's being watched with security cameras.
00:34They've got the whole place tapped.
00:36But she has to keep this man sitting at the table across from her.
00:39I'm like the worst date ever.
00:41No, no, you're great.
00:43What creeps me out the most is just feeling like you're trapped and you can't do anything about it.
00:48Can't text anybody, can't call anybody.
00:50You're being watched at all angles, you're being listened to at all angles.
00:53You're back up against the wall.
00:54It's absolutely terrifying.
00:55Yeah, Sean never killed anybody, right?
00:58Megan and Brandon take big swings.
01:01And you can feel that on screen.
01:02It's definitely a thriller.
01:04It's definitely going to keep you on the edge of your seat.
01:06The thing that's so scary about the film is that
01:09you could totally see a world in which this could happen to someone.
01:17It's just a date.
