The Guillermo Del Toro-produced horror film Scary Stories to Tell in The Dark has found its first actress, with Deadline reporting that Zoe Colletti (Annie) has joined the film’s ensemble cast.
Scary Stories to Tell in The Dark follows a group of young teens who must solve the mystery surrounding sudden and macabre deaths in their small town. Colletti will play Stella Michaels.
The film is based upon Alvin Schwartz’s best-selling book of the same name and has been adapted by Del Toro, Patrick Melton, Marcus Dunstan, Dan Hageman and Kevin Hageman. At one point Del Toro was set to direct, but André Øvredal (Trollhunter) will helm the project instead.
Scary Stories to Tell in The Dark will be produced by Entertainment One and CBS Films with shooting to begin later this month for a 2019 release. In the meantime, Colletti will be seen next in Skin, which will have its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival.
