Mike Doyle, pictured below, has landed the starring role in The Last Word, a paranormal thriller being directed by Simon Rumley (Red White & Blue), Heat Vision reports. Bitch Slap‘s Erin Cummings, pictured above, and Sean Patrick Flanery (Saw 3D: The Final Chapter) are also joining the project as leads.
Based on true events, “Word centers on the strange and tragic aftermath endured by the participants in the trial of a young man in Texas who was wrongly convicted and executed for the rape and murder of a nun.” In the Ben Ketai-written movie, “a convicted man is executed for his crimes, but not before cursing those who sent him to his death. Soon enough, the people involved in the case, from witnesses to jurors, begin dying. When one juror’s son’s life in threatened, the man sets out to prove that the wrong person was convicted and reverse the curse.”
Doyle will play the juror and father while Flanery will portray the district attorney. Cummings will play Doyle’s wife.
A7SLE Films principals Peter Facinelli and Rob DeFranco, along with Eric Gores and Frank Mancuso Jr. of Boss Media, are producing the project, which began shooting in Shreveport, La., this week.
