Dane DeHaan Joins Gore Verbinski's Horror Film A CURE FOR WELLNESS
Gore Vebinski’s career blew up when he directed The Ring back in 2002, and after directing three Pirates of the Caribbean films, Rango, and The Lone Ranger, he’s jumping back into the horror genre. The move is called A Cure For Wellness, and it’s being written by Justin Haythe (Revolutionary Road).
Dane DeHaan (The Amazing Spider-Man 2) has joined the cast of the movie. According to THR, the movie tells the story of an employee (DeHaan) “who is sent to rescue his boss from a European ‘wellness spa’ but soon realizes he's trapped, and discovers that the facility has a more sinister purpose than just serving the health needs of its patients."
A young actress named Mia Goth (Nymphomaniac: Vol. II) is also in negotiations to join the project. If cast, she will will play “a longtime patient who is oblivious to the spa director's dark designs for her.”
It will be nice to see Verbinski make another horror movie, and this one sounds like it will be a great project for him. Production is set to start in Europe in June.
