Yes, that Rob Lowe directed and also stars in a remake of the classic 1956 Oscar-nominated “creepy kid” film The Bad Seed for Lifetime, and ET got their hands on the trailer today.
According to IMDb, it should be arriving in September.
McKenna Grace (Amityville: The Awakening) is playing Emma, the titular Bad Seed.
Patty McCormack, who nabbed herself an Oscar nomination playing the young girl in the original, will co-star as the psychiatrist who treats Emma.
“Lowe stars as a father who seems to have everything under control. But when a terrible tragedy takes place at his daughter Emma’s school, he is forced to question everything he thought he knew about his beloved girl. He slowly begins to question if Emma’s exemplary behavior is just a façade and whether she played a role in the horrific incident. When more strange things begin to happen, he’s faced with keeping a terrible secret to protect Emma, but ultimately must stop her from striking again.”
The reimagining is penned by Barbara Marshall (Wish Upon), based on a best-selling novel by William March that was adapted to a long-running Broadway play.
