David Slade, director of Hard Candy and 30 Days of Night<\/a>, is currently in production on a horror film called Legacy, and Deadline<\/a> reports that the cast is led by Lucy Hale\u00a0(Pretty Little Liars),\u00a0Jack Whitehall\u00a0(Jungle Cruise), and Anjelica Huston\u00a0(The Addams Family). Hale is a bit of a genre regular, having previously taken on roles in the likes of F*** Marry Kill<\/a>, Truth or Dare, Fantasy Island, Fear Island, and Scream 4.<\/p>\n

Scripted by Thomas Bilotta, Legacy is said to tell the story of a harrowing 24 hours surrounding two siblings and the passing of their estranged father. Any further details are being kept under wraps.<\/p>\n

Chris Abernathy and Eric B. Fleischman\u2019s Wonder Company\u00a0is producing the film while Hale serves as an executive producer alongside Amanda Massetti, Jo Henriquez, Jan McAdoo, Stephen Braun, Ross Putman, James Harris, Mark Lane, and Bishal Dutta. Jess Varley and Bri Hennessey are co-executive producers.<\/p>\n

Slade, who has also directed The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, Dark Harvest, episodes of Black Mirror,\u00a0Breaking Bad, Hannibal, and\u00a0American Gods, and the interactive film Black Mirror: Bandersnatch, among other credits, told Deadline: \u201cI\u2019m excited to be bringing this project to life and am loving working with Lucy, Jack and Anjelica. The underlying universal themes of fatherhood and family bonds spoke to me and my own experience directly. The question of \u2018what would you do for your family?\u2019 always intrigues me as a question to pose to audiences.\u201c<\/p>\n

Fleischman and Abernathy added, \u201cWe\u2019ve been long-admirers of David\u2019s work and style, so this collaboration has been a very special process for us. David\u2019s ability to craft commercial genre films that garner massive fanbases is a rarity and we look forward to audiences experiencing the nightmares he\u2019s captured on film out here in the English countryside.\u201c<\/p>\n

Legacy sounds interesting to me and I\u2019ve been rooting for David Slade since the days of Hard Candy and 30 Days of Night, so I look forward to seeing how this one is going to turn out. Are you a fan of Slade\u2019s work, and does Legacy sound like something you\u2019d want to watch?
