The "Happy Death Day" Bulge

Ok, who are these guys?  I'm particularly interested in the one on the left, the one with the sock shoved down his parts. Google says that they are Jessica Rothe and Ruby Modine, but that's obviously wrong.

It's at the premiere of Happy Death Day (2017).  The one on the right is the director, Christopher Landon (son of Michael), who is gay.  But who is the one on the left?

The plot: a girl named Tree (Jessica Rothe) is murdered on her birthday, and must keep reliving the day over and over until she discovers the identity of her killer.

So a time-loop combined with a teen-kill.


Tree is apparently quite the player: she wakes up on the morning of her birthday in the bed of a one-night stand, Carter Davis (Israel Broussard).

Nope.









Then, after refusing a cupcake from her sorority sister Lori (Ruby Modine), she meets with the married professor who she's dating, Dr. Butler (Charles Aitken).

Nope.

 Later, on the way to the party, she is murdered by someone wearing a school mascot costume.

Awakening in Carter's bed again, she realizes that she is in a time loop, and tries to avoid the killer, but he finds her no matter what.  She decides to look for him (I would go with Carter).

Other than the Carter, Lori, and Dr. Butler, the main suspects are serial killer John Tombs (Rob Mello), who of course is a red herring.

Nope.

Her estranged father (Jason Bayle).

Nope.


And Carter's roommate, Ryan (Phi Vu), whose experiments in quantum mechanics cause the time loop.

Nope.

There's also a closeted gay guy, Tim (Caleb Spillyards). whom Tree encourages to come out.  Not the murderer.

Nope.

I found the original article on Just Jared.  It doesn't identify the guy, but it does list everyone who was there.  Other than the ones mentioned: producer Jason Blum and Blaine Kern III.

It's Jason, who has produced Get Out!, The Purge, The Darkness, The Gallows, Paranormal Activity, and dozens of other movies, mostly horror.

He's gay, too.  I can't comment on the rocket in his pocket, but at least I found a movie with a gay character, and two gay Hollywood players.
