Gabrielle Union To Produce & Star In Horror Pic ‘The Casket Girls’ From QC Entertainment
Gabrielle Union will produce and star in 'The Casket Girls,' a horror film that Justin Dyck is set to direct for QC Entertainment.
Written by Thomas Lennon & Robert Ben Garant ( Night at the Museum), with revisions by Keith Cooper ( Anything for Jackson) & Dyck, The Casket Girls is inspired by the true story of a group of young women sent from France to New Orleans to become brides to French colonists in the early 1700s. The girls were blamed and feared to be demons or vampires, and for the city’s protection, they were imprisoned in the attic of the Vatican-controlled Ursuline Convent, which still stands today in the heart of the French Quarter, locked away behind an impenetrable door and windows bolted shut by nails blessed by the Pope himself. The film takes place in today’s world as Detective Shay Williams (Union) and her partner become trapped inside the Ursuline Convent with a group of tourists when the Casket Girls escape from their attic prison for the first time in over 300 years.
