Additional cast members have been named for a film based on Joe R. Lansdale's novel The Thicket, Deadline reported. Sophia Lillis (It), Noomi Rapace (Prometheus) and Charlie Plummer (Looking for Alaska) will join Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones) in the project, which has a script by Chris Kelley and will be directed by Elliott Lester (Nightingale).
Producing are Giannia Nunnari of Hollywood Gang, Dinklage and David Ginsberg of Estuary Films, Matt Hookings of Camelot Films, Shannon Gaulding, and Andre L III of MiLu Entertainment. Deadline noted that "the Exchange will be shopping the movie at the upcoming EFM. CAA Media finance and ICM Partners are co-repping domestic."
"We are thrilled to bring this strong commercial project with an amazing ensemble cast to Berlin," said Brian O'Shea of the Exchange. "Rapace and Dinklage are global stars in their own right, but to also have up and coming talent as Lillis and Plummer in The Thicket makes the project truly exciting."
