“House of the Dragon” and “Bates Motel” star Olivia Cooke has been set to star in Brides from director Chloe Okuno (V/H/S/94: Storm Drain, Watcher).
Cooke takes over the role vacated by Maika Monroe (Watcher, Longlegs), which Deadline reports is due to scheduling issues over Universal drama Reminders of Him.
Brides follows “Sally Bishop (Cooke) and her husband, who travel to a remote Italian villa whose owner, a mysterious count, takes a peculiar interest in Sally.”
Chloe Okuno’s Brides, for which she’ll write and direct, is said to be at least loosely inspired by Bram Stoker’s horror classic Dracula, and it’s set to “flip Bram Stoker’s narrative on its head, exploring the struggle between societal repression and carnal desire.” It’s also described as “gothic, glamorous, and gory.”
