Around these parts we’re huge fans of director Christopher Smith (Creep, Black Death, Severance, Triangle), so every time word of a new project comes in with him attached, we are all ears.
THR is reporting that Tye Sheridan (pictured; Mud, The Stanford Prison Experiment) will star in psychological thriller Detour, written and to be directed by Smith.
The new film will center on Harper (Sheridan), a young law student who, while grieving for his dying mother, struggles to decide whether he should kill his unfaithful stepfather. Jason Newmark and Julie Baines are producing the film, which will shoot in South Africa.
