Bella Thorne and Jack Kilmer Set To Star in Fantastical Mermaid Drama THE TOWER
Bella Thorne (The Babysitter) and Jack Kilmer (Palo Alto) are set to star in an upcoming mermaid thriller titled The Tower. The movie started shooting right before the strike and it’s now allowed to start shooting during the SAG-AFTRA strike thanks to an Interim Agreement.
The movie is a fantastical mermaid drama that tells the dark tale of “a mysterious mermaid trapped and forgotten for years in the water tower of a small Southern town.” The movie also stars Cam Gigandet (Violent Night) and Chris Mullinax (Chariot).
The film is being directed by Adam Sigal (Nandor Fodor and The Talking Mongoose), who describes it as his “attempt to interpret the isolation and wanderlust I felt growing up in a small Southern town.”
When talking about the current strike, Sigal said, “It breaks my heart that there are so many actors, writers and crews unable to work at the moment, and I realize how fortunate we are to have the opportunity to finish this film. I am incredibly grateful to SAG for continuing to support independent film, and as soon as we wrap, the cast of The Tower and I will be out there on the picket lines beside our fellow actors and writers, fighting for what they deserve.”
This definitely sounds like an interesting and unique story and I’m curious to see how the story plays out.
