Gore Verbinski returns to the genre with A CURE FOR WELLNESS, which will now see the fantastic Jason Isaacs in the villainous role, reports THR. Production is slated to start in Europe this month, and the film will be distributed worldwide through New Regency’s deal with 20th Century Fox.
Isaacs joins both Dane DeHaan and Mia Goth, which tells the story of an…
…employee (DeHaan) who is sent to rescue his boss from a European “wellness spa.” He soon realizes he's trapped, and discovers that the facility has a more sinister purpose than just serving the health needs of its patients.
Isaacs will play the facility’s director, an aristocratic man who has dark designs on a patient (Goth). Sounds like A CURE FOR WELLNESS is going to be a wicked return to the genre and it'll be nice to see Verbinski behind the camera of a smaller film for once. More on this one as it comes in, folks!
