Crispin Glover and his fancy Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter dance moves is set to star opposite Sebastian Stan (Black Swan, The Martian, The Covenant) in the thriller We Have Always Lived in the Castle, writes THR.
The movie — an adaptation of Shirley Jackson’s 1962 story of the same name — “centers on an isolated family, The Blackwoods, who use rituals and talismans to ward off hostile townspeople. The clan has already lost four members to poisoning when a distant cousin (Stan) arrives to maliciously secure the Blackwood fortune, at which point family secrets are unearthed.”
Glover will play Uncle Julian Blackwood, a man who due to extreme gangrene is confined to a wheelchair and morbidly obsesses over his wife and brother’s mysterious deaths.
We Have Always Lived in the Castle boasts a strong genre cast that also includes Texas Chainsaw 3D‘s Alexandra Daddario and her “American Horror Story” co-star Taissa Farmiga (The Final Girls) as agoraphobic sisters in the movie, which will begin filming this month in Dublin.
Stacie Passon (Concussion) will direct the adaptation of Jackson’s macabre tale, which she co-wrote with Mark Kruger. Michael Douglas is producing, along with Jared Goldman, Robert Mitas and Robert Halmi, Jr.
