　　Come Play also stars Gillian Jacobs (Community, The Good Wife) and John Gallagher, Jr. (Westworld, The Newsroom). The film is an expanded version of writer-director Jacob Chase's 2017 five-minute short film, Larry, which has a similar plot. Chase, an emerging talent, earned "an exclusive directing mentorship under Zack Snyder on the set of Justice League" on the strength of his 2016 Super Bowl ad, Doritos Dogs.

　　Come Play, which is rated PG-13, is expected to be released into theaters on October 31.
