Simona Tabasco, fresh off her breakout role on Season 2 of “The White Lotus,” has joined the cast of the upcoming horror-thriller, “Corporate Retreat.” The film’s ensemble also includes Alan Ruck (“Succession”), Ashton Sanders (“Moonlight”) and Rosanna Arquette (“Pulp Fiction”).
Aaron Fisher (“Inside the Rain”) is directing “Corporate Retreat” with principal photography set to start in June. Uri Singer (“White Noise”) is producing the film. Fisher and Kerri Lee Romeo co-wrote the script.
Tabasco received an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for her work as a clever and calculating sex worker on HBO’s “The White Lotus,” as well as a SAG Award in the Drama Ensemble category. She also starred opposite Sydney Sweeney in Michael Mohan’s psychological horror film “Immaculate,” which was a box office hit when it was released in 2024. Before her appearing on the HBO series, Tabasco appeared in several Italian series and movies, including roles in the medical drama “Doc – Nelle tue mani,” and the crime thriller “Perez.”
“Corporate Retreat” is about a collection of executives whose team-building getaway spirals into a violent struggle for survival when their retreat leader reveals a deadly agenda.
“After watching Simona’s electrifying performance in ‘White Lotus,’ it became instantly evident that she is a rising star,” Singer said in a statement. “We are thrilled about the charisma and talent she adds to our ensemble.” He went on to praise Tabasco’s “passion as an artist and the dedication she brings to every role.”
