Casting Details for Osgood Perkins’ I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House
Osgood Perkins, son of Anthony, played a young Norman Bates in Psycho 2, but that was many years ago. These days, he’s an up-and-coming filmmaker, and his second feature – following in the wake of last year’s February – is set to begin shooting next month. It’s titled I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House, and today brings the first casting details. Read on!
Per the official press release, Golden Globe winner Ruth Wilson (pictured below; “The Affair,” Saving Mr. Banks) will star in the film, with Academy Award nominee Bob Balaban (The Grand Budapest Hotel, Moonrise Kingdom) and Lucy Boynton (February, Miss Potter) also joining the cast.
Perkins wrote the script and will be directing, with principal photography beginning in Ottawa on February 16th.
I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House follows Lily (Wilson), a young nurse hired to care for elderly Helen Bloom, a best-selling author of ghost stories who has chosen to live out her final days in her beloved country home – a home that holds an horrific ghost story of its own.
Rob Paris’ Paris Film, Inc., is producing and co-financing the film through the recently announced venture with Robert Menzies’s Ottawa-based production shingle Zed Filmworks and Canadian real estate developer Alphonse Ghossein’s Go Insane Films. Paris and Menzies are producing, and Ghossein is executive producing.
