Meet your newest scream queen: Jane Levy, who is signing on to another horror flick before the much-buzzed about, controversial “Evil Dead” remake even hits theaters. Screen Daily reports Levy is in negotiations for the lead role in “In a Dark Place”, a psychological thriller in the vein of “The Others” and “The Innoncents.”
UK director Bharat Nalluri will direct from a screenplay by Stacey Menear. Levy will play a young American student who goes overseas to England to act as nanny to “a most unusual charge.” Filming is set to begin in the spring. The film sounds awfully similar to “The Darkness”, which had Mary Elizabeth Winstead attached to star in last year, but to the best of our knowledge, the two are entirely different projects.
Scream Queen is seemingly an odd fit for Levy, who’s generally a comedic actress as the star of hit ABC series “Suburgatory”, now in its second season and showing no signs of slowing down. She landed the lead role of Mia in Sam Raimi’s upcoming remake of his own horror classic “Evil Dead” after Lily Collins dropped out. The film, which has shocked with explicit promos and which had to be recut to get an R rating, will premiere at SXSW next month and is set for an April 5th release. Levy was seen in last year’s “Fun Size” and “Nobody Walks.”
