TV: ‘Black Swan’ Beauty Added to Now Filming ‘Locke & Key’
My anticipation builds with each and every name added to the cast of Fox’s Locke & Key adaptation. Wait, you still haven’t read it? Why not?
Mark Romanek (who directed amazing music videos such as Nine Inch Nails’ “Closer”) is getting behind the camera for the pilot episode.
Nice Girls TV reports that Russian beauty Ksenia Solo (Black Swan, CW’s “Nikita”) has landed a role alongside previously announced Miranda Otto, Sarah Bolger, Nick Stahl, Jesse McCartney, and Skylar Gaertner. Solo’s role is unknown but based on her looks she could be playing the main villain.
The story penned by Joe Hill (son of Stephen King) follows Nina Locke (Otto) and her three children, Tyler (McCartney), Kinsey (Bolger), and Bode (Gaertner), who survive an unspeakable horror and attempt to rebuild their lives at Keyhouse, their family home in Lovecraft, Massachusetts. It is a mysterious New England mansion, with fantastic and transformative keys hidden inside its walls that are also being sought by a hate-filled and relentless creature with ties to the Locke family’s past who will stop at nothing to accomplish his sinister goals.
Shooting is underway in Pittsburgh.
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
