‘Evil Dead’ Star Heading to “Castle Rock” with ‘Carrie’s’ Sissy Spacek!

If Stephen King’s name wasn’t enough to sell you on Hulu’s “Castle Rock”, they’ve cast horror veteran Jane Levy in one of the lead roles.

Levy, who starred in both Fede Alvarez’s Evil Dead remake and Don’t Breathe, is set to co-star opposite Moonlight‘s André Holland in Hulu’s upcoming psychological-horror drama series from J.J. Abrams and Stephen King, Deadline reports. Also boarding the show in a key role is an actress closely associated with King’s cinematic world, Carrie star Sissy Spacek!

Levy has signed a one-year deal for “Castle Rock”, which is suspect and hopefully not a spoiler.

Set in the Stephen King multiverse, “Castle Rock”, from Bad Robot Productions and Warner Bros. Television, is named after the fictional town in King’s native Maine that is featured prominently in a number of his novels, novellas, and short stories. Per the producers, it combines the mythological scale and intimate character storytelling of King’s best-loved works, weaving an epic saga of darkness and light, played out on a few square miles of Maine woodland.

Oscar winner Spacek will play Ruth Deaver, estranged adoptive mother of Henry (Holland), a retired professor whose fading memories may hold a key to Castle Rock’s unsettling past. Levy plays Jackie, the death-obsessed, self-appointed historian of Castle Rock.

Holland plays Henry, a death row attorney with a unique and complicated history in Castle Rock, Maine.

Spacek is coming off a three-season run on the Netflix drama series “Bloodline”.

Sam Shaw & Dustin Thomason developed Castle Rock for television and serve as executive producers along with J.J. Abrams, Ben Stephenson and Liz Glotzer.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
