Madeline Zima & Leonardo Nam Star LOVE IS THE MONSTER

Madeline Zima (Californication) and Leonardo Nam (Westworld) will star in Love is The Monster.

The new thriller received a SAG-AFTRA Interim Agreement meaning it is free to go into production. Love Is the Monster centers on a couple, Ana (Zima) and Justin (Nam) who, rocked by infidelity, attend an exclusive couples retreat in Finland, under the golden rays of the summer’s midnight sun. They join other couples from other parts of the world to experience the transformative teachings of the shaman and healer, Tiina, inspired by the ancient Finnish goddess of love and fertility, Lempo. But the idyllic setting soon takes a turn….

Drawing on the mythology of his native Finland, Noyer’s second feature comes on the heels of Sound of Violence, a horror-thriller starring Jasmin Savoy Brown (Scream 6) which world premiered at SXSW in 2021. Noyer’s fellow producers on the pic are Laurence Gendron (A Wounded Fawn) and Hannu Aukia (Sound of Violence).

Love is The Monster also stars Moe Jeudy-Lamour (Ted Lasso), Kimberly-Sue Murray (Trader), Kristina Tonteri-Young (Warrior Nun), Milla Puolakanaho (Omerta), Tatu Sinisalo (Sisu) and Sheila Mccarthy (Women Talking).

Alex Noyer (Sound of Violence) directs and writes alongside Hannu Aukia and Blair Bathory.

Zima’s break out TV role was starring alongside David Duchovny on Showtime’s Californication. Upcoming projects for the actress include sci-fi thriller Subservience which also stars Megan Fox.

Nam appeared on HBO’s Westworld where he played park employee Felix Lutz. More recently he appeared on Star Trek: Lower Decks and Marvel’s Werewolf By Night.
