One of the most fascinating real-life stories comes to the screen in 2018.
We’ve recently told you about the upcoming film Winchester, which will star Academy Award winner Helen Mirren as firearm heiress Sarah Winchester. To make a long story short, Winchester spent decades using her fortune to expand upon her home, and no one is quite sure why. The most common belief? She was cursed by spirits who demanded she never stop building.
In any event. CBS films has dated the movie for release on Friday, February 23, 2018.
Jason Clarke, Sarah Snook, and Angus Sampson also star.
Inspired by true events, WINCHESTER follows the story of firearm heiress Sarah Winchester (Helen Mirren), who was convinced that she was haunted by the souls killed at the hands of the Winchester Repeating Rifle. After the sudden deaths of her husband and child, she threw herself into the 24-hours a day, seven days a week construction of an enormous mansion designed to keep the evil spirits at bay. But when skeptical San Francisco psychiatrist Eric Price (Jason Clarke) is dispatched to the estate to evaluate her state of mind, he discovers that her obsession may not be so insane after all. The film will take audiences inside the labyrinth-like house that is believed to be one of the most haunted places in the world.
Michael and Peter Spierig (Daybreakers, Predestination, SAW: Legacy) directed.
