"Terminator Genisys" actor Jason Clarke joins "The Queen" star Helen Mirren in the CBS Films supernatural thriller "Winchester." It seems that Clarke is moving in the Winchester Mystery House.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Clarke will play a skeptical San Francisco psychiatrist Eric Price in the "Winchester" movie. He is sent to the home to evaluate the mental health of the widow Sarah Winchester (Mirren). He, later on, discovers that she may have been right to be concerned and may not be insane after all.
"Winchester" movie follows the story of the firearm eccentric heiress Winchester to the Winchester Repeating Arms Company fortune, Variety reported. She is convinced that she is haunted by the souls killed at the hands of the Winchester repeating rifle. She spent her life constructing an enormous mansion, the famed Winchester Mystery House, after the sudden deaths of her beloved husband William Wirt Winchester and her infant daughter.
"Predestination" twin directors Michael and Peter Spierig are the directors of "Winchester" movie from a screenplay they wrote with Tom Vaughan. Blacklab Entertainment's Tim McGahan and Imagination Design Works' Brett Tomberlin are the producers. The executive producers include Benedict Carver, Daniel Diamond, Tobin Armbrust, Andy Trapani, Toni Lianos, Marc Shipper, Brian Gilbert, and Simon Oakes.
Clarke is repped by WME, Robert Stein, and Bloom Hergott. He had been busy last year in his starred roles in "Everest" and "Terminator Genisys." He also starred in the recently released drama "All I See Is You" with Blake Lively. He is currently filming "Chappaquiddick" as the late Senator Ted Kennedy. He will next appear in two upcoming World War II dramas Cedric Jimenez's "HHhH" and Dee Rees' "Mudbound."
The production of "Winchester" movie will begin in March 2017. The filming will take place on location at the mansion in San Jose, California, and in Australia. The Winchester Mystery House is complete with secret passages and trapdoors to keep at bay what Winchester thought were the angry spirits of the people killed by her family's firearms.
