Emilia Clarke Will Channel Her ‘Voice From the Stone’
Momentum Pictures has announced that they have acquired N. American rights for the period thriller Voice From the Stone, which should see a release in the first quarter of 2017.
At the gates of an isolated stone castle in the 1950’s Tuscany, a determined young nurse arrives to cure the mute heir within. As Verena struggles to bring silent Jakob back into the world, she finds herself submerged deeper and deeper into the hidden secrets of the castle.
Emilia Clarke (“Game of Thrones”) will headline and will be joined by Marton Csokas (The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring), Caterina Murino (Casino Royale), Remo Girone (Heaven), Lisa Gastoni (Sacred Heart) and Edward Dring (Nella Tasca del Cappotto). Eric D. Howell directed the film off of a screenplay by Andrew Shaw. The film is based on the Silvio Raffo novel “La Voce Della Pietra”.
Ian Goggins, Momentum Pictures’ Senior Vice President of Content, stated, “We’re excited to bring this amazing film to the big screen and to work with the talented Emilia Clarke on this project. Emilia has proven to be a versatile actor from her dominant role in ‘The Game of Thrones’ to her quirky, yet lovable character in Me Before You. We’re confident that her legion of fans will follow her in her new role in ‘Voice From the Stone’.”
The film was shot on location in Italy.
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
