Peter Sarsgaard and Mackenzie Davis Set To Star in a "Twisted Horror" Film THE DAMNING OF A COUNTRY MERCHANT
Peter Sarsgaard (The Batman) and Mackenzie Davis (Terminator: Dark Fate) are set to star in a new horror movie project titled The Damning Of A Country Merchant.
The movie is described as a “twisted horror,” and the story is set in 1910 Indiana and “follows the patriarch of a rural mercantile family (Sarsgaard) whose way of life is suddenly disrupted by a charismatic industrialist who has entered into a secret affair with his wife (Davis).”
It’s explained, “When rising tensions mistakenly lead to the death of a customer, his wounded authority and masculinity leave him vulnerable to truly bizarre and horrific forces causing unimaginable chaos and terror.”
The film is set up at Anonymous Content, Two Independent Eyes, and Anti-Worlds, who have partnered to produce the movie. It’s also been announced that the film will be written and directed by Matthew Rosenbaum, and he will make his directorial debut with the project.
Pulsar co-founders Gilles Sousa and Marie Garrett said in a statement: “We are thrilled to announce our first feature with Peter Sarsgaard and Mackenzie Davis. It’s also a great opportunity to partner up again with XYZ Films, UTA Independent Film Group, and CAA Media Finance on this first feature which, we’re sure, will fit the international audience. The script is totally unique and will take the audience to an unexpected place.”
