After years in development hell, Dominic Monaghan is finally set to star in Pet, a hot screenplay that was originally set up at MGM.
“Orphan Black” actress Ksenia Solo also stars with “iCarly’s” Jennette McCurdy and Nathan Parsons of “The Originals,” says THR.
Written by Jeremy Slater (Fantastic Four, The Lazarus Effect, Death Note), “the story centers on an introverted man who imprisons a woman, only to find the tables turned on him. The project is said to be tonally in the vein of Gone Girl and Hard Candy.
Carles Torrens, who directed the 2012 horror film Apartment 143, is behind the camera for the movie, which began production this week and is a co-production between Revolver Picture Company and Spanish company Magic Lantern.
The project has been in the works since about 2007, when it was first set up at MGM. Monaghan has been intent on making the feature since at least 2008.
Torrens is producing alongside Revolver’s Nick Phillips and Kelly Martin Wagner. Revolver was involved in horror movies such as Haunt and Beneath.
