Three More Join Gary Oldman in Haunted Ship Thriller ‘Mary’
Now in production, the casting of the supernatural thriller Mary has grown by three today as Deadline reports that Insidious: Chapter 3 star Stefanie Scott (above), Manuel Garcia-Rulfo (Murder on the Orient Express) and Chloe Perrin have come aboard the haunted ship.
Gary Oldman, Emily Mortimer and Owen Teague (IT) also star in the Tucker Tooley Entertainment and Entertainment One supernatural thriller.
Michael Goi, known for directing 2011’s Megan is Missing and a handful of “American Horror Story” episodes, is directing.
“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.
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.
Two-time BAFTA winning filmmaker Joe Wright (Hanna, “Black Mirror“) is set to direct the feature adaptation of post-apocalyptic thriller novel, Juice, Deadline reports today.
Emmy winner Abi Morgan (Shame, “Eric”) will adapt Tim Winton‘s novel for Working Title Films.
In Juice, “A young husband and father is recruited into a top-secret resistance organization, to join the ranks of militia men tasked with targeting the isolated and wealthy culprits responsible for this global catastrophe. When a mission goes wrong, he finds himself on the run, having to fight to the end to survive in this hostile world.”
It’s set in a world ravaged by climate-change disaster.
“I couldn’t be more thrilled that Tim Winton has entrusted us with his extraordinary epic,” Wright told Deadline. “The story is both a thrilling modern family saga and an urgent call to action. I cannot wait for audiences to experience it on the big screen.”
Winton added, “I’m pleased to know a filmmaker of Joe Wright’s calibre has chosen to adapt Juice for the screen. His capacity to portray the turmoil and the turning points of nations and peoples as well as private individuals distinguishes his work as a director and I’m confident that Juice is in good hands.”
Juice was initially published in October 2024 and longlisted for The Climate Fiction Prize 2026.
