Naomi Watts has joined Daniel Craig to headline Jim Sheridan’s next project, Dream House, based on a spec script by David Loucka.
The film will follow “a family that relocates into what appears to be the ideal residence in small town Connecticut. However, a father (Craig) and his family are disturbed to discover that their beautiful new home was the site of another family’s slaughter, believed to be at the hands of the husband who survived. Watts plays the family’s neighbor.” [THR]
Isn’t it a bad thing that the first film that comes to mind is Cold Creek Manor? The second The Amityville Horror?
This project’s been floating around for some time and to find this as the synopsis is a tad disconcerting. That said, Sheridan always puts in a good effort and usually its shows (last year’s Brothers is a good example). And then there’s Watts and Craig to consider.
Morgan Creek is producing. Universal to distribute.
Are you excited to see Sheridan’s next? More so with Watts attached?
