There’s no question that Andy Muschietti’s IT is going to launch the careers of several young actors, who we expect to explode across the horror scene in the coming years. One of those actors is Owen Teague, who plays Patrick Hockstetter in the Stephen King adaptation. And indeed he’s just landed another big genre role.
Via THR tonight, Teague will star alongside Gary Oldman in the supernatural thriller Mary, from Tucker Tooley Entertainment and Entertainment One.
Michael Goi, known for directing 2011’s Megan is Missing and a handful of “American Horror Story” episodes, will direct.
“Mary centers on a struggling family that buys an old ship at auction with the high hopes of starting a charter business, only to discover the ship’s horrifying secrets on the isolated open waters.”
The script was written by Anthony Jaswinski, writer of last year’s The Shallows. Production is scheduled to begin in Alabama later this month.
Tucker Tooley, Scott Lambert and Alexandra Milchan as well as Scott Lumpkin are producing. Greg Renker and Jason Barhydt will executive produce. Douglas Urbanski, Oldman’s longtime producing partner, will also exec produce.
