Brainstorm Media has released the official (and creepy!) trailer for the upcoming movie, WE HAVE ALWAYS LIVED IN THE CASTLE. The mystery thriller film stars Taissa Farmiga and Sebastian Stan. Take a look at the footage in the video player below.
The name may sound familiar to some, as it is a popular book by Shirley Jackson, which is being given the big screen treatment. The screenplay has been penned by Stacie Passon and Mark Kruger. Passon is on double duty for this one, as she is also in the director’s chair for the movie calling the shots. Academy Award-winning actor Michael Douglas is on executive producer via his Further Films company.Â
WE HAVE ALWAYS LIVED IN THE CASTLE tells the story of Merricat Blackwood, a girl who lives on the family estate with her sister Constance and her uncle Julian. Not long ago there were seven Blackwoods—until a fatal dose of arsenic found its way into the sugar bowl one terrible night. Acquitted of the murders, Constance has returned home, where Merricat protects her from the curiousity and hostility of the villagers. Their days pass in happy isolation until cousin Charles (Stan) appears. Only Merricat can see the danger, and she must act swiftly to keep Constance from his grasp.
The film has a great cast featuring It stars Taissa Farmiga (American Horror Story, The Nun) as Merricat Blackwood, Sebastian Stan (Avengers: Infinity War) as Charles Blackwood, Alexandra Daddario (Baywatch) as Constance Blackwood and Crispin Glover (Back to the Future) as Julian Blackwood.
