Shout! Studios Picks Up Ned Crowley’s Supernatural Thriller ‘Killing Faith’ Starring Guy Pearce, DeWanda Wise
Deadline reports that Shout! Studios has acquired North America and Latin America rights for Ned Crowley’s new Western Killing Faith, starring Guy Pearce and DeWanda Wise.
Also included in the cast are Bill Pullman, Raoul Trujillo, Jamie Neumann, Jack Alcott, Joanna Cassidy, and Emily Ford.
Written and directed by Crowley, Guy Pearce will play Dr. Bender, a faithless physician who agrees to escort an anguished mother (DeWanda Wise) on a 5-day journey across a treacherous desert to find a Faith Healer. The mother is hopeful of finding a cure for her Caucasian daughter’s mysterious illness: she is possessed by the devil and every living thing the girl touches mysteriously dies.
Crowley and David Martin produced the film along with Jordan Dykstra and Ellen Wander of Film Bridge International, and Zori Davidkova and Wes Hager of Triple Seven Pictures.
