Adam Scott is set to star in a upcoming supernatural horror film titled Hokum, which comes from writer and director Damian McCarthy, who recently made the creepy-ass horror movie Oddity.
In the film, Scott plays “a horror novelist who visits a remote Irish inn to spread his parents’ ashes, unaware the place is rumored to be haunted by a witch.”
Scott is no stranger to the horror genre having appeared in films in Little Evil, Krampus, Piranha 3D, and even the 1996 movie Hellraiser: Bloodline.
The film will be produced by Spooky Pictures founders Roy Lee (Barbarian) and Steven Schneider (Strange Darling) along with Image Nation (Late Night With the Devil).
Schneider of Spooky Pictures said in a statement: “With Damian McCarthy’s fresh and unique approach behind the camera and the amazing Adam Scott bringing his talent to the lead role, ‘Hokum’ is shaping up to be something truly special.
“It’s always a pleasure working with the team at Image Nation Abu Dhabi — they share our passion for bold, boundary-pushing storytelling. We can’t wait for audiences everywhere to experience what we’ve created together.”
Ben Ross, acting CEO of Image Nation added: “Partnering with Steven and Roy has been an incredible journey and it’s been great to see that our collaboration has led to some incredible projects.
“With Adam’s talent and charisma and Damian’s unique direction, this is another opportunity for us to push boundaries in the horror genre and continue to make our mark in the international market.”
Hokum is set to shoot on location in Ireland later this month, and Scott will be joined by Peter Coonan (Bad Sisters) and David Wilmot (Bodkin) are also set to star.
