We heard that producers of The Thicket, a psychological thriller to be directed by Tracy Lynch Britton, are in talks with actresses Robin Wright, Diane Lane and Ashley Judd for a lead role.
The Thicket is written by Tracy Lynch Britton with Dennis Poore, and recounts the true story of a young girl in a small superstitious town in Texas in 1962 who wants so desperately to be accepted by the boy's secret club that risks her life and soul to enter 'the thicket' - a supposedly haunted woods where people have vanished mysteriously.
According to Britton, The Thicket actually exists in East Texas and it is one of the scariest places on earth – similar to the infamous “Bermuda Triangle” – people have gone in there and never come out! Described as a cross between Stand by Me, To Kill a Mockingbird, Angel Heart, and The Blair Witch Project, The Thicket will have a Southern Gothic element,and will feature characters like the ancient voodoo woman, “Becka”, who lives in dilapidated shack on the edge of the thicket and young Karla, a tomboy with a pivotal relationship to her father, the Reverend Preston.
There could also be country music stars cast in major roles.
