Karen stars Taryn Manning as Karen White, a bigot who terrorises a black couple in an American suburb. Karen is directed by Coke Daniels. The title and concept of the film are based on the name “Karen,” which is occasionally used as a slang term for entitled white women.
Coke Daniels’ “Karen,” a misbegotten thriller about a woman named Karen who is a Karen, as defined culturally by her entitlement and bigotry, is a genuine jaw-dropper on numerous levels. The fact that she’s played by Taryn Manning, an actress who has faced allegations of Karen-ism in real life, adds to the uncomfortably literal vibe.
Malik and Imani are a young Black couple who have recently moved into a nice suburban home. When they arrive, they are met by Karen Drexler, a seemingly friendly white neighbour. This facade, however, gradually reveals a bitter, resentful, furious, and prejudiced woman who is hell-bent on removing the pair at any costs.
Quiver Distribution purchased North American distribution rights to the film in August 2021, and it will be released theatrically and on demand on September 3, 2021.
Karen filming locations
This movie which is a satirical and dark commentary on real life was filmed in one geographical location considering the fact that the film revolves around an American suburb and thus doesn’t have any need for new or exotic locations as such.
There is one filming location which is the state of Georgia in the USA. In December 2020, principal photography began in Georgia. Filming for the film was completed in February 2021. Karen reportedly began shooting in Atlanta, Georgia last December.
Georgia
Georgia is a state in the United States that is bordered on the north by Tennessee and North Carolina, on the northeast by South Carolina, on the southeast by the Atlantic Ocean, on the south by Florida, and on the west by Alabama.
Georgia is the 24th-largest state in terms of land area and the 8th-most populous among the 50 states. In 2020, the Atlanta metropolitan area will have a population of over 6 million people.
Georgia is known for its varied landscapes, vegetation, and fauna. The Blue Ridge Mountains, which are part of the broader Appalachian Mountain chain, are found in the state’s northernmost sections.
The Piedmont plateau stretches from the Blue Ridge foothills south to the Fall Line. The locations are picturesque and the climate is perfect which makes sense because many box-office smash hits have been filmed in Georgia including Avengers: Endgame and Black Panther.
If we’re being honest, Georgia’s journey to the top of the movie-making mountain surprised a lot of people. The movie industry, on the other hand, has grown because to huge tax incentives and unprecedented cooperation from film locations such as restaurants and other businesses.
The mild climate, which allows for year-round filming, as well as the diverse aesthetics of the region’s villages, cities, and mountains, have been highlighted as the primary reasons why producers are preferring Georgia over other locations. Another benefit is the flexibility of Georgia’s government officials and ministries.
This movie is a social commentary very well suited to the day and age that we are living in. The thriller factor adds an element of excitement to it which will hopefully make it an edge of the seat ride for all of us considering that it has already been compared to the Oscar nominated movie, Get Out.
