“Game of Thrones” star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau came on board to topline The Silencing last year, a thriller now being directed by Robin Pront. In addition to the director change (Anders Engstrom had previously been attached), we’ve learned this week that Annabelle Wallis (The Mummy) has also joined the cast.
Via Deadline, “The pic, with a Nicholl Fellowship-winning script by Micah Ranum, follows a reformed hunter (Coster-Waldau) who becomes involved in a deadly game of cat and mouse when he and the local sheriff set out to track a vicious killer who may have kidnapped his daughter years ago.”
Cybill Lui of Anova Pictures is producing, Wilding Pictures’ Matt Code is co-producing, and XYZ Films is executive producing.
