Adelaide Clemens, whose credits include Silent Hill: Revelations, No One Lives and The Great Gatsby, has taken on the lead role in Luke Shanahan’s dark thriller Rabbit, which starts shooting today, ScreenDaily reports. Clemens replaces the previously reported Abbey Lee in the role, which is pretty disappointing to say the least.
Clemens stars as Maude Ashton, a young medical student haunted by visions of her twin sister’s abduction, who discovers a secret society that might be connected to her missing sister.
In Rabbit, she reunites with her Wasted On The Young co-star Alex Russell, who has recently shot Sony’s Granite Mountain, Greg McLean’s Jungle and TIFF selection Goldstone. The cast also includes Belgian actress Veerle Baetens, best known for Oscar-nominated Broken Circle Breakdown.
Shanahan will shoot for five weeks on locations in and around Adelaide, Australia. David Ngo produces the co-production between A Longshot Film and Projector Films. LevelK handles international sales on Shanahan’s feature debut.
Rabbit had been the winning pitch at the 2015 Melbourne International Film Festival’s 37º South Market and was later presented at London’s Production Finance Market.
