Emily Watson, Ben Chaplin and Alex Etel ("Millions") are joining "The Water Horse," the Jay Russell-directed co-production based on the Dick King Smith novel reports Variety.
Pic, a co-production between Walden Media, Beacon Pictures and Revolution Studios, tells the story of a lonely boy in Scotland (Etel) who finds a mysterious egg on the shore of a lake. When the egg hatches, what emerges is a "water horse," a mythical sea monster of Scottish legend.
Shooting starts in early May in Scotland and New Zealand.
