John Gallagher Jr. is Set To Star in Amblin's Upcoming Monster Film LARRY
Amblin Entertainment is developing a new horror film called Larry and they’ve just cast John Gallagher Jr. (10 Cloverfield Lane, The Newsroom) in the movie. He will join the previously cast Gillian Jacobs (Community) and Azhy Robertson (Juliet, Naked).
Jacob Chase is set to write and direct the film. The story follows a young boy and his family who become the target of a terrifying monster who manifests through high-tech devices like smartphones and other screen devices.
The project is based on a short film and the aim is to “create a grounded horror film in the vein of The Ring and Poltergeist.”
This sounds like it will be a great horror project that will fit in perfectly with the Amblin brand. I also like Gallagher and the projects he’s made and this will be a cool film for him to be a part of.
