A Literal Haunting in ‘The Rafters’
Twitch caught wind of a new film from John Carney, the director of the Oscar winning drama Once and Tribeca selected scifi comedy Zonad.
In the dark thriller entitled The Rafters, “Ghosts stalk an old guesthouse in the Aran islands, as two American backpackers vie for the affections of a young woman who is, literally, haunted by her past.”
Now in post-production, The Rafters stars Marcella Plunkett, Killian Scott, Sean Donegan, Maire O’Neill, and Des Nealon.
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.
