Last week we let you guys know that there was a rumor circling about that Hilary Duff would be playing Sharon Tate in a new film surrounding the death of the actress at the hands of the Manson Cult.
Well, today we have confirmation that, yes, Duff will be playing Sharon Tate in writer-director Daniel Farrands' THE HAUNTING OF SHARON TATE co-starring Jonathan Bennett and Lydia Hearst.
Production is underway on the film which:
takes a look at the last days leading up to Sharon Tate's death from her point of view. The plot is inspired by an actual quote from Tate, from an interview published a year before her death, wherein she reveals having dreams about ghosts haunting her house and foreseeing her own death at the hands of a satanic cult.
Houston-based entrepreneur Jim Jacobsen’s Skyline Entertainment fully financed the picture with Lucas Jarach and Eric Brenner producing. Jacobsen and Jorge Garcia Castro are executive producing.
Skyline Entertainment recently financed the Amityville origin story THE AMITYVILLE MURDERS also written and directed by Farrands, which just completed post-production and is screening for distributors.
We'll let you know when we hear more!
The last film Duff starred in was FLOCK OF DUDES
