Gillan, Hutcherson, Owen Join “Blasphemous”

Karen Gillan (“Guardians of the Galaxy”), Josh Hutcherson (“Five Nights at Freddy’s”), and Clive Owen (“Monsieur Spade”) have all signed to star in the supernatural thriller “Blasphemous”.

Production aims to get underway in New York this August on the project which will be the directorial debut of writer Luke Piotrowski (“Hellraiser,” “She Rides Shotgun”).

Piotrowski also wrote the script, which appeared on the 2023 Black List and is dubbed “The Exorcist meets Training Day”.

The story follows two clerics – a rookie priest (Hutcherson) and his devout mentor (Owen) who must transport a possessed young woman (Gillan) to a secure location for an exorcism.

All hell breaks loose when she unexpectedly escapes, putting their lives on the line and their faith to the ultimate test.

Thunder Road and Seven Bucks Productions will produce the project while North.Five.Six. will sell the film at EFM in Berlin. Gillan, Dwayne Johnson, Scott Strauss, Basil Iwanyk, Erica Lee, Dany Garcia, Jess Biddle and Hiram Garcia produce.

Gillan is currently filming the new “Jumanji” and will jump from that to the “Highlander” remake and then this.
