HELLBOY Reboot Director Neil Marshall to Helm a New Witch Horror Film Called THE RECKONING
MoviePass surprisingly isn’t dead yet and they are new producing horror film project called The Reckoning. According to Deadline, Neil Marshall (Hellboy, The Descent) has been hired to direct it.
I’ve enjoyed the films that Marshall has made over the course of his career and it’s great to see that he’s taking on another horror project. He actually co-wrote the script with Edward Evers-Swindell and Charlotte Kirk. Kirk (Ocean’s Eight) will also star in The Reckoning.
The Reckoning is described as a female-driven story, which is set “around the witch hunts and the great plague in England in 1665 and follows Evelyn Haverstock (Kirk), a young widow, haunted by the recent suicide of her husband Joseph, who is falsely accused of being a witch by her jealous Landlord, Squire Pendleton, after she rejects his unwanted advances.”
Sounds like it could be a great movie! I love the era and setting of the story. There’s such a dark and fascinating history there for the creative team to play with in this movie.
Production on the film will begin on January 15th in Wales.
