As per Variety, Jessica Chastain (Mama, Zero Dark Thirty) is in final negotiations to co-star in the flick alongside Benedict Cumberbatch, Emma Stone and Charlie Hunnam with Guillermo del Toro directing. Plot details are unknown as del Toro and Lucinda Coxon work through a rewrite on a script del Toro and Matthew Robins originally penned.
Del Toro previously described the film as “a very set-oriented, classical but at the same time modern take on the ghost story. It will allow me to play with the conventions of the genre I know and love and at the same time subvert the old rules.”
Legendary will produce and be a participating financing partner on the movie, with Universal Pictures retaining an option to finance at a later date.
Look for more hopefully soon!
