After last week’s news that Chloë Grace Moretz will lead Carlota Pereda’s first English-language film The Edge of Normal, Deadline has reported that Moretz now has her first co-star with Rupert Friend (Companion) joining the cast.
Based on the novel by Carla Norton, The Edge of Normal sees Moretz as Reeve LeClaire, a woman who “is still haunted from when she was held captive as a teenager by a sadistic man, but when her psychiatrist asks her to mentor a newly rescued survivor, she’s pulled into a chilling game of cat-and-mouse—one that threatens to drag her back into the nightmare she barely escaped.”
There is no word on who Friend is playing. Hopefully we will hear more details soon as casting picks up with production expected to start within the next few weeks. Meanwhile Friend, whose past credits include Obi-Wan Kenobi and Homeland, will be seen next in Jurassic World: Rebirth and The Phoenician Scheme.
The screenplay for The Edge of Normal was written by Matt Venne (Dexter: Resurrection) with revisions by Lori Evans Taylor (Final Destination: Bloodlines). Production will begin this spring, with XYZ Films producing.
