THR is reporting that Birch is starring in a new Shining-like film alongside Brittany Murphy and Tammy Blanchard called Deadline, which started rolling in Louisiana on Wednesday. Murphy stars in Deadline as a screenwriter who travels to an abandoned house to finish a script on time, but a series of strange events lead her to a psychological breakdown.
Sean McConville is making his directing debut on the film, which is being independently financed. Marc Blucas (“Buffy the Vampire Slayer”) also stars. More on Deadline, and my obsession with Thora Birch, as it develops!
