“Nikita” Star Gets “Haunted” By Syfy
Former “Nikita” star Lyndsy Fonseca, pictyred, and up-and-comer Elizabeth Cappuccino (“Jessica Jones”) have been cast as two of the leads of Syfy’s supernatural horror drama pilot “The Haunted”, Deadline writes.
Written by Noga Landau (Tau, The Magicians), “‘The Haunted’ centers on four siblings – Juno (Fonseca), Virgil, Eliis and Hester (‘Cappuccino’) — who reunite following their parents’ deaths. As they try to overcome their fractured personal relationships they find that they must also face the literal ghosts from their past in order to survive.”
Fonseca’s Juno Bradley is a woman of science who is forced to come to terms with a new perspective on the world after she realizes she can no longer rely on facts alone, adds the site. Cappuccino’s Hester Bradley, Juno’s sister, is searching for a purpose and determined not to miss out on the fun.
James Frey and Todd Cohen of Full Fathom Five executive produce and Landau co-executive produces for Universal Cable Productions.
Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
