THR reports that “Black Sails” and Maleficent star Hannah New (pictured) has joined the cast of the thriller, which was written and directed by Myrick.

Principal photography is set to begin sometime early this month.
Shawn Papazian is producing along with Radar Pictures’ Ted Field and Mike Weber, who developed the project, which started as a story by Myrick and producer Richard Halpern. Sobe Brook Entertainment’s Justin Shaner will executive produce with Tom Van Dell, Aldo LaPietra, and Eustace Montgomery Hicks.
