Actor Adam Scott (Krampus, “Severance”) is gearing up for a memorable turn in Osgood Perkins’ The Monkey, but the actor has already lined up his next horror project: the supernatural horror film Hokum from Oddity filmmaker Damian McCarthy, per Variety.
Hokum is set to go into production in Ireland later this month.
In the supernatural horror film, Scott plays “A horror novelist who visits a remote Irish inn to spread his parents’ ashes, unaware the place is rumored to be haunted by a witch.”
Peter Coonan (Bad Sisters) and David Wilmot (Bodkin) star alongside Scott.
The film has some great horror pedigree producing, too, with producers including Spooky Pictures founders Roy Lee (Barbarian) and Steven Schneider (Strange Darling), Image Nation’s Derek Dauchy (Late Night with the Devil), and Tailored Film’s Ruth Treacy, Julianne Forde and Mairtín de Barra (“The Apprentice”). Ben Ross (“Late Night With the Devil”), Dan Kagan (Longlegs), Rami Yasin (Late Night with the Devil) and Andrew Childs (Boy Kills World) will serve as executive producers.
Schneider of Spooky Pictures told Variety, “With Damian McCarthy’s fresh and unique approach behind the camera and the amazing Adam Scott bringing his talent to the lead role, ‘Hokum’ is shaping up to be something truly special. It’s always a pleasure working with the team at Image Nation Abu Dhabi — they share our passion for bold, boundary-pushing storytelling. We can’t wait for audiences everywhere to experience what we’ve created together.”
With the project just announced, it’s too early to tell whether Hokum will have any connection to McCarthy’s previous films, Caveat and Oddity, which were loosely connected and set in the same universe. Both films featured actor Johnny French, playing different roles. You can watch both now, on Shudder.
Stay tuned for more on Hokum.
