Ben Mendelsohn, Abbey Lee, Toby Wallace & Eliza Scanlen Lead Cast In John Michael McDonagh’s ‘Fear Is The Rider’; Film Constellation & CAA Media Finance Aboard For AFM
The film is due to begin production in 2025 in Australia.
An adaptation of the novel The Hunted by Gabriel Bergmoser, the team has attached Ben Mendelsohn ( Star Wars: Rogue One) Abbey Lee ( Horizons: An American Saga), Toby Wallace ( The Bikeriders) and Eliza Scanlen ( Babyteeth) in lead roles. In a nod to the gore-drenched Ozploitation slashers of the 1970s, the film follows a lone woman, searching for her missing mother, who is pursued into the Australian Outback by a terrifying family of serial killers, with only an ex-con and a young girl willing to help her. Daniel Henshall ( Mickey 17), Brenton Thwaites ( Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales), Thomas Turgoose ( This is England), Rhys Wakefield ( The Purge), Shane Jacobson ( The Bourne Legacy), Susie Porter ( Gold) and Jacqui Purvis ( Home and Away) round out the cast.
