Deadline is reporting that Walton Goggins (The Hateful Eight) has been cast in Them That Follow, a dramatic thriller from writer-directors Brittany Poulton and Daniel Savage.
Them That Follow is set in the wilds of Appalachia where believers handle death-dealing snakes to prove themselves before God. Goggins is set to play Lemuel Childs, “an unshakable preacher determined to protect this way of life in a world that is changing and turning against their traditions. Fearing the erosion of his church and the possible loss of his daughter Mara to the outside world, he is faced with preventing his community from breaking apart.”
Goggins, who is currently shooting the Marvel sequel Ant-Man and the Wasp, will be joined in the cast of Them That Follow by Olivia Colman (Broadchurch), Alice Englert (Beautiful Creatures) and Thomas Mann (Kong: Skull Island). Production is slated to begin next month in Ohio.
