Fresh off his role of bully Patrick Hockstetter in Stephen King’s IT, actor Owen Teague is ready to take on more supernatural shenanigans. THR is reporting that Teague is joining Gary Oldman in Mary, a supernatural thriller from Tucker Tooley Entertainment and Entertainment One.
Michael Goi, perhaps best known for his work as cinematographer and director for “American Horror Story” and “Salem,” will direct the feature.
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. Anthony Jaswinski, who penned the hit woman-versus-shark thriller The Shallows, wrote the script.
Tucker Tooley Entertainment and eOne will co-finance and produce Mary, which is scheduled to begin production in Alabama in late September. 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.
More as it comes.
