Rachel Weisz has agreed to star in Universal’s new thriller Dream House, which already boasts Daniel Craig and Naomi Watts among its cast.
Jim Sheridan’s directing the film, which sees a publisher (Craig) deciding to quit the rat race in New York and relocate his wife (Weisz) and family to a charming New England town, only to discover all is not quite what it seems with the beautiful house they end up buying.
This being a thriller, they soon learn that a mother and her two children were horribly murdered in the place, which we’re sure the estate agent conveniently forgot to mention during the tour. We hate it when they do that.
Watts is playing a neighbour who will probably come in both useful and stalkery since she knew the victims.
David Loucka wrote the script and Sheridan starts the cameras cranking this weekend in Toronto.
