Casting news continues for Alcon Entertainment's adaptation of the supernatural thriller “Beautiful Creatures" with the announcement that Emma Thompson is joining the project.
According to Heat Vision, Thompson ("Nanny McPhee") will play the dual role of Mrs. Lincoln, a small-town religion firebrand, and Sarafine, the dark witch who possesses her.
A coming of age story set in the South, “Beautiful Creatures” is about two star-crossed teenage lovers, Ethan, a local boy, and a mysterious new girl, Lena, who uncover dark secrets about their families, their history and their town.
Richard LaGravenese will direct from his own adaptation of Kami Carcia and Margaret Stohl's novel. Erwin Stoff (“The Matrix,” “I Am Legend”) will produce along with Broderick Johnson and Andrew Kosove (“The Blind Side, “The Book of Eli”), and Molly Smith (“Something Borrowed,” “P.S. I Love You”).
Thompson joins Viola Davis ("The Help"), Jack O’Connell ("This is England") and Alice Englert ("Singularity").
Filming on the adaptation is expected to begin in April in and around New Orleans.
