Fresh off her starring role in the first season of Prime Video’s hit series “Fallout,” Ella Purnell (“Yellowjackets”) has booked a role in the upcoming horror-comedy The Scurry.
Screen Daily reports this morning that Ella Purnell has joined the cast of the now-filming horror comedy from director Craig Roberts, taking on “an avalanche of deranged squirrels.”
The site notes, “Ella Purnell will play the leading role of a park attendant who must use her unique skills and strength to survive a band of killer squirrels.”
“The film follows two pest controllers called to a country park café to investigate a routine vermin problem, only for an avalanche of deranged squirrels to descend at nightfall, wreaking mayhem on the staff and visitors in the park.”
Rhys Ifans (Spider-Man: No Way Home), Paapa Essiedu (Men), and Antonia Thomas (“The Good Doctor”) have all been previously announced to star in the upcoming movie.
Tim Telling wrote the screenplay for The Scurry.
