Emily Mortimer will star opposite Gary Oldman in Mary, the supernatural thriller from Tucker Tooley Entertainment and eOne. It will be directed by Michael Goi (American Horror Story) and is in production now in Alabama, shooting from a script by Anthony Jaswinski (The Shallows).
Mortimer will portray Oldman’s wife in the story about a couple facing financial struggles who buy an old ship at auction with the hope of starting a charter business, only to discover her horrifying secrets on the isolated open waters. Also joining the cast is It co-star Owen Teague (Bloodline).
Tooley Entertainment and eOne are co-financing and producing Mary under their first-look co-financing and international distribution deal. Mary is the second film that the two companies have joined forces on after Now I See You.
Mortimer recently wrapped production on Disney’s Mary Poppins Returns, which will be released in December 2018. Other upcoming films for Mortimer include The Bookshop, Phil and CBS Films movie The Sense of an Ending.
Oldman next will be seen as Winston Churchill in Focus Features’ The Darkest Hour, a film that offers high hopes for a second Oscar nomination for the actor. He was nominated for 2011’s Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.
