Truth or Dare‘s Cassandra Scerbo, John Wick actor Adrianne Palicki, Hostile‘s Q’orianka Kilcher and Braveheart‘s Angus Macfadyen have boarded The Wolf and the Lamb, a folk horror/thriller from writer and director Michael Schilf.
The genre pic takes place during the western expansion of the 1870s and is shooting in Montana. Scerbo plays a widowed school teacher searching for her only son, played by Jaydon Clark (The Rookie), who is the latest child to go missing in a tight-knit mining camp. But when the son miraculously returns, he is more monster than man.
Scerbo is known for playing Nova Clark in the Sharknado film series and appearances on the Grand Hotel and Guerrila TV series. Friday Night Lights alum Palicki is also known for turns on ABC’s Marvel drama Agents of SHIELD and Seth MacFarlane’s Fox dramedy The Orville.
Kilcher’s big break came at age 14 when she starred as Pocahontas opposite Colin Farrell and Christian Bale in Terrence Malick’s The New World. She also appeared on TNT’s The Alienist as Mary Palmer. Madfadyen played Robert the Bruce in Mel Gibson’s Oscar-winning Braveheart.
The ensemble cast includes Eric Nelsen, Sammi Rotibi, James Landry Hebert, Zach McGowan, Elias Kacavas and Clint Howard. Rounding out the cast is Kevin Keppy, Mike Manning, Rob Nagle, Hanna Balicki and William Rothlein.
The Wolf And The Lamb is produced by Chase Kuker, Jordan Kuker and Miah Smith of Lunar Door, and Nicholas Clark and Jordan Wagner. James Macmillan and Scerbo of One Of One, along with Ve Neill (Beetlejuice) and Manning will executive produce.
