Michael Shannon (\u201cBullet Train\u201d), Drew Starkey (\u201cQueer\u201d) and Margaret Qualley (\u201cThe Substance\u201d) are set to star in the next film from \u201cThe Bikeriders,\u201d \u201cTake Shelter\u201d and \u201cLoving\u201d director Jeff Nichols.<\/p>\n

Titled \u201cKing Snake,\u201d the story follows a young couple (Qualley and Starkey) who inherit a farm in rural Arkansas and must conquer the demons, both physical and metaphysical, that haunt its legacy.<\/p>\n

Forces of good and evil collide in \u201ca terrifying film where real-world challenges crash headlong into otherworldly creatures and myths.\u201d The project is described as a Southern Gothic horror tale.<\/p>\n

FilmNation Entertainment is financing the film and will launch sales out of the American Film Market. FilmNation CEO Glen Basner says:<\/p>\n

\u201cJeff is a singular filmmaker and King Snake will bewitch and enthrall audiences around the world with a startling new vision of the supernatural forces that hover just beyond our everyday perceptions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nichols, Brian Kavanaugh-Jones and Sarah Green will produce. Nicholas has spent a good amount of time in recent years trying to secure financing for an adaptation of the Cormac McCarthy companion novels \u201cThe Passenger\u201d\/\u201dStella Maris\u201d as well as a remake of \u201cAlien Nation\u201d.<\/p>\n
