Confirmed Casting For Vampire’s Loss Of ‘Innocence’
As already exclusively reported by Bloody Disgusting back on April 26, Sophie Curtis (Arbitrage, The English Teacher) has been cast as Beckett in the Hilary Brougher-directed psych thriller Innocence about a moody teenager who discovers her elite private school is home to a coven of beautiful vampires.
The young actress joins Abigail Breslin, Kelly Riley and Chloe Sevigny.
“In this modern-gothic vampire story, a recently bereaved teenage girl finds herself the focus of everyone’s attention at her elitist private school where life is steeped in tradition and ceremony. As she deals with her mother’s death, her father’s new relationship and falls in love for the first time, she is blissfully unaware that the school is home to a house of vampires who have their sights firmly set on capturing her and making her the subject of a ritual virgin sacrifice.
As she struggles against time to uncover the truth, the vampires carefully close their net with those around her questioning whether or not she is losing her mind.”
The film is produced by Christine Vachon and Pamela Koffler’s Killer Films along with Bankside Films.

Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
