“Smash” star Katharine McPhee and “E.T.’s” Henry Thomas are set to lead upcoming kidnapping feature “Three People in the Woods.”
Directed by Joshua Caldwell (“Mending the Line”), the film follows a grieving couple who kidnap the man they believe is responsible for the death of their teenage daughter in order to exact their revenge. However after dragging him into the woods they find their resolve is tested and the couple soon begin to unravel.
Joining the cast are Jim Gaffigan (“The Jim Gaffigan Show”), Morgan Saylor (“Homeland”) and Forrest Weber (“Black Rabbit”). Nick Scandura has written the screenplay for the film, which has just wrapped in Georgia.
“‘Three People in the Woods’ is a story about grief, moral certainty, and the consequences of the choices we make when the world feels unrecognizable,” said Caldwell. “I’m thrilled to be working with this incredible cast to bring this tense, emotional journey to the screen.”
