Adam Brody (Jennifer’s Body) and Amanda Crew (pictured below left in Final Destination 3; “Silicon Valley”) have been set to topline psychological thriller The Wanting from Filipino director Yam Laranas (The Echo, The Road), Deadline reports.
Said to be in the vein of Rosemary’s Baby and The Exorcist, and based on a short story by Gin de Mesa and Yam Laranas, “The Wanting is about an all-American couple whose dream of starting a family is shattered after they move into the perfect New England neighborhood. Once settled, they soon after descend into the depths of terror as they struggle to survive a genuine threat from a dark presence that appears to want to end their very lives.”
Rob Heydon is producing the adapted screenplay from Donald Martin (Milton’s Secret). Sid Ganis and Joni Sighvatsson are the Executive Producers.
Shooting for the film began today in Toronto.
