Brian O’Malley, the Irish director behind 2014’s gothic horror pic Let Us Prey starring “Game of Thrones‘ ” Liam Cunningham, has signed on to direct Immaculate, an upcoming suspense thriller from Catapult Entertainment Group, reports Deadline.
The film centers on a minister who, after a personal tragedy and having his own crisis of faith, is taken captive by a mother who believes her son possesses extraordinary abilities that are rooted in evil.
David R. Flores and J. Hunter Roe penned the screenplay. Catapult’s Christopher Watkins and Kevin Goetz, who produced A Violent Separation, are producing this one with Needle Eye’s Charles Stiefel.
“At its heart, Immaculate is a character piece that slices open the beast that can exist in all of us,” Goetz said.
Casting is underway and production is being eyed to start later this year in Alabama.
