Sony’s Screen Gems has rounded out the cast for Shrine, the latest horror film from Ghost House producer Sam Raimi.
Joining previously announced star Jeffrey Dean Morgan (“The Walking Dead”) will be Katie Aselton (pictured in Black Rock, “The League”), replacing Jordana Brewster, who was attached to co-lead the film but had to withdraw from the project due to timing conflicts in production schedules, reports Deadline.
Shrine focuses on a disgraced journalist (Morgan) who discovers a series of divine miracles in a small New England town that has been touched by the apparition of the Virgin Mary and uses them to resurrect his career, but the “miracles” may have a much darker source.
Also announced are VFW‘s William Sadler (Bill & Ted Face the Music, Bogus Journey), Cary Elwes (pictured below in Saw, “Stranger Things”), Diogo Morgado (Son of God, The Killer), Cricket Brown, Marina Mazepa (James Wan’s Malignant), Christine Adams (“Black Lightning”, “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”), and Bates Wilde.
Evan Spiliotopoulos is directing the pic which is based on James Herbert’s best-selling novel. Ghost House Picture’s Rob Tapert also produces alongside Raimi.
Production is currently underway in Massachusetts.
