‘The Nun’ Cast Continues to Grow
The other day “Game of Thrones” star Charlotte Hope was cast as Sister Victoria, a nun haunted by a demonic presence in New Line’s The Nun, the latest spinoff from James Wan’s horror universe based on characters from The Conjuring movies. Variety adds that Ingrid Bisu joins as a villager.
Demian Bichir and Taissa Farmiga are already starring in the thriller, which sees Bichir playing a priest named Father Burke who is dispatched by Rome to investigate the mysterious death of a nun. Bonnie Aarons, who originated the demon nun in The Conjuring 2, is back as the sinister sister.
Corin Hardy is directing the project, which was written by Gary Dauberman and Wan. Wan and Peter Safran are producing.
Production begins this week in Romania with a planned July 13, 2018, release date.
Abigail Cowen (“Stranger Things,” “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina,” The Ritual) will lead the cast of psychedelic horror movie The Guide, Deadline reports this week.
James Badge Dale (13 Hours) and Edouard Philipponnat (Napoleon) will also star. Inon Shampanier directs from a script co-written with Natalie Shampanier.
Deadline details, “Abigail Cowen will play a young woman who enters a psilocybin mushroom retreat in an effort to heal past traumas, surrendering herself to the care of a psychedelic therapy guide (James Badge Dale). As the guide’s motives come under suspicion, the past bleeds into the present and the session unravels into a psychedelic nightmare.”
“This psychedelic therapy thriller is designed to be a visceral inward journey, and I am thrilled to go on this journey with the incredibly talented James Badge Dale, Abigail Cowen and Edouard Philipponnat,” Inon Shampanier said in a statement to Deadline.
