Jessica Jones Duo Krysten Ritter and Carrie-Anne Moss Reunite for a Chilling New Horror Film
Krysten Ritter and Carrie-Anne Moss are reuniting for Claire, a new creature horror thriller — their first project together outside the Marvel universe since Jessica Jones wrapped in 2019.
Krysten Ritter and Carrie-Anne Moss are getting the band back together, just not in the MCU. The Jessica Jones duo is reuniting for a new creature-feature called 'Claire,' and the premise has some bite.
What is 'Claire'?
The setup is lean and gnarly: a single mom trying to get sober is stalked by a nastiness that literally feeds on despair, going after her and her two sons. As her recovery fight gets tougher, the line between addiction demons and actual monsters blurs, and it all builds toward a survival-and-redemption showdown. If your brain just went, 'So... Babadook-adjacent?,' you are on the right track. The team is openly pointing to tonal DNA from 'The Babadook,' 'The Relic,' and 'Hereditary.'
The reunion
This is the first time Ritter and Moss have teamed up outside Marvel since 'Jessica Jones,' which ran three seasons on Netflix from 2015 to 2019. Ritter, yes, that Krysten Ritter from 'Breaking Bad,' and Moss, forever iconic from 'The Matrix,' are headlining together again, which is fun casting all by itself in this lane.
Who is making it
- Title: 'Claire' (creature horror thriller)
- Stars: Krysten Ritter; Carrie-Anne Moss
- Also starring: Cameron Crovetti ('The Boys'); Sarah Bolger ('Mayans M.C.')
- Director: Tracy Kleeman (feature debut; longtime assistant and mentee of 'The Conjuring' creator James Wan)
- Writer: John Carlos Higgins
- Producers: Matthew R. Cooper and Anna Dragoo for Objectively Good Media (OGM), along with Sterling Beaumon and Thomas Mahoney
- Executive producers: Julie Kroll, Lior Haas, Lisa Wolofsky, and Edoardo Bussi for Twenty-Nine Palms Entertainment
Behind-the-scenes detail worth flagging: this is Kleeman's first feature after years working with James Wan. So expect sharp genre instincts and, hopefully, some of that haunted-house precision brought to a more intimate monster story.
What the producer is saying
"As a staunch advocate for addiction and recovery stories, Claire brilliantly balances its creature feature/ horror elements with the frustrating realities of living with an active addict. I couldn't be prouder of Tracy, Krysten, Sarah, John, and the entire team for shepherding this project to fruition," said producer Matthew R. Cooper.
No release details yet, but on paper this is a promising mix: two strong leads, a debut director with legit horror lineage, and a premise that swings for something scarier than jump scares.
