Tatiana Maslany and SCREAM star Jasmin Savoy Brown will star in the upcoming science fiction horror film Green Bank. Josh Ruben will direct the tale of high-tech terror for Protagonist Pictures.
Green Bank will take place in an American town where all Wi-Fi, cell signals, and radio broadcasts are strictly forbidden for mysterious reasons. There, an infant sleep trainer, played by Brown, will discover that the seemingly-clueless yuppies who hired her to help their child are far more terrifying than they seem. Director Ruben touts the viability of the horror genre, which has proved to be a winner at the current box office, and says his film “has the full package—it’s smart, scary, and wickedly funny.” Protagonist Pictures CEO Dave Bishop says the film is “wall-to-wall, fright-filled fun led by a fiercely talented cast”, and that it is a “fresh, subversive take on the [horror] genre”.
Canadian actor Maslany hit it big playing multiple clones on the sci-fi drama Orphan Black, earning her an Emmy in 2016. She is no stranger to the horror genre; she made her feature debut in the Canadian werewolf film Ginger Snaps 2: Unleashed, and starred in George Romero’s Diary of the Dead. She also starred in Stronger with Jake Gyllenhaal, Woman in Gold as the younger version of Helen Mirren’s character, and played a key role in the first season of HBO’s Perry Mason. She recently played the titular gamma-irradiated lawyer in Marvel Studios’ She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, and was set to star in AMC’s Invitation to a Bonfire before it fell victim to that network’s recent spate of cost-cutting.
