There are reports all around the web, but here's one report...
Barry Watson (Sorority Boys, 7th Heaven) has been cast in the lead role
of a man who returns to his childhood home to confront a terrifying
power.
Marcy Morris and Jeff Bernstein at Armstrong Hirsch negotiated on behalf
of Watson, who is represented by ICM and managed by Mary Goldberg.
Emily Deschanel (Cold Mountain), Tory Mussett (The Matrix Reloaded,
Peter Pan), Lucy Lawless (Xena: Warrior Princess) and Skye McCole
Bartusiak (Don't Say A Word) will also star.
Raimi and Tapert are producing the film, which is being fully financed
by Senator International. Screen Gems will release theatrically in North
America.
Stephen Kay, whose credits include the remake of Get Carter and The Last
Time I Committed Suicide, is directing.
The screenplay was written by Eric Kripke, Juliet Snowden, Stiles White
and Darren Lemke.
"Screen Gems is thrilled to keep Sam Raimi in the Sony family, and we
hope that this is only the first of many successful collaborations with
Sam and Rob Tapert," Clint Culpepper, president of Screen Gems, said in
a statement.
Ghost House's slate includes The Grudge, the English-language remake of
the hit Japanese film Ju-on, which is due to go into production this
autumn, and the vampire thriller 30 Days Of Night.
Columbia Pictures is co-developing 30 Days Of Night and will also handle
North American distribution and several international territories.
Movie Role for Lucy..
What a horror!
A while ago, Rob Tapert and Sam Raimi set up a production company to produce horror movies on a slightly smaller budget than Sam's SpiderMan flicks... So, news is out about the first production from the company, and guess who gets a role! What IS nepotism anyway?
"Boogeyman, the first picture to be backed by Sam Raimi, Rob Tapert and
Senator International's genre label Ghost House Pictures, has begun
filming in Auckland, New Zealand.
