Ron Perlman Joins ‘Companion’ Director’s Ritual Horror Film ‘Seasons’
Ron Perlman will join Lily James and Jack Reynor in the next film from the ‘Companion’ director, titled ‘Seasons’.
The upcoming supernatural horror film Seasons just got even more interesting, with THR reporting that Ron Perlman (pictured above in Nightmare Alley) has joined the cast!
Perlman will star alongside Jack Reynor (Lee Cronin’s The Mummy) and Lily James (Pride and Prejudice and Zombies).
You have to hear this logline: “It’s the story of a husband and wife who buy their dream ranch, only to discover the land is alive with ancient spirits. For the couple, survival will mean submitting to increasingly disturbing rituals with each turn of the season.”
Reynor is playing the husband with James as the wife. Perlman will play a neighbor who knows little about those rituals.
It’s based on My Wife and I Bought a Ranch, a viral horror short story by Matt & Harrison Query, which first appeared on Reddit and was later adapted into a full-length novel.
Drew Hancock (Companion) directs the film for Amazon MGM Studios.
Perlman marks an excellent addition to the cast, as the beloved actor is no stranger to the horror genre. He’s appeared in multiple Guillermo del Toro pics such as Cronos, Blade II and Hellboy, as well as appearances in films such as Alien: Resurrection.
The film is the third collaboration between 21 Laps and Blumhouse Atomic Monster, on the heels of the top-grossing A24 horror Backrooms.
Hancock directs from his own script, with 21 Laps’ Shawn Levy and Dan Levine producing alongside Blumhouse Atomic Monster’s James Wan and Michael Clear, 12:01 Films’ Scott Glassgold, and Dan Cohen. Judson Scott is exec producing for Blumhouse Atomic Monster, with Alayna Glasthal overseeing for the company.
Seasons is set to begin shooting in Ireland this September.
