Just yesterday Eric let you know SUPER 8 standout Joel Courtney locked up his new gig in a supernatural thriller called THE HEALER. Well, looks like the youngster has some new company…
According to Variety, HANNAH MONTANA’S Natalia Dyer (pictured right) will also take on THE HEALER. Word is Dyer will play a mysterious being sent to protect Courtney’s character from the various creatures that are out to destroy him.
Written and directed by Giorgio Serafini, THE HEALER follows teenage twins (Courtney and Isabelle Fuhrman) who embark on a camping trip with their father that turns into a perilous adventure as they become lost in a haunted forest.
A haunted forest sounds cool and all, but how young will this sucker skew? I’m instantly hit with visions of that odious RED RIDING HOOD shite that came out earlier this year. Hopefully Serafini saw that as an example of what not to do.
THE HEALER also stars James LeGros, Greg Lee and LaDon Drummond.
