Scott Cooper (“Hostiles,” “Black Mass”) is set to direct the psychological horror “A Head Full of Ghosts” starring “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” and “The Leftovers” breakout Margaret Qualley.
An adaptation of Paul Tremblay’s Bram Stoker Award-winning horror novel, the story begins when eight-year-old Merry’s older sister exhibits signs of an indeterminate and terrifying affliction which causes her family to slowly tear itself apart.
Two decades later, Merry is confronted with her family’s traumatic past when Rachel, a journalist with a similarly haunted past, delves into the case, causing Merry to relive and reconsider the devastating memories of her childhood.
Cooper is revising the current draft while Cross Creek, Team Downey and The Allegiance Theater is backing the project financially. Cooper directed the Keri Russell and Jessie Plemons-led “Antlers” which opens April 17th.
