Friday the 13th star meets Mandy Lane
John Carpenter is getting back behind the camera for another feature next month. That’s when shooting begins in Spokane, Washington on The Ward, a film first announced in February when All the Boys Love Mandy Lane star Amber Heard signed aboard.
Casting continues with Danielle Panabaker (Friday the 13th) now locked to star opposite Heard in the psychological horror thriller. The story follows a girl (Heard) who is admitted to a psychiatric ward, meets other girls there with distinct personalities and discovers a mysterious girl haunting the halls at night.
According to THR, Panabaker plays “a patient in the institution, a snobbish girl who flirts with orderlies and faces electroshock therapy.” Mamie Gummer is also set to appear in the film as a patient.
Echo Lake Entertainment and A Bigger Boat are producing based on a script by Michael and Shawn Rasmussen. Jim Agnew and Sean Keller were called in for rewrites. The pair also penned Dario Argento’s Giallo.
