Today, we have casting news for the feature film Agatha, based on the festival favorite short film by the same name. ‘One Tree Hill’ actress Hilarie Burton has signed on to star in one of the main roles.
Burton, a very talented actress and ‘One Tree Hill’ alum, also co-stars in the ‘Lethal Weapon’ series and is married to none other than Jeffrey Dean Morgan who stars as Negan on ‘The Walking Dead’.
In Agatha, from director Timothy Vandenberg, “The orphan train comes daily, spilling hundreds of children onto the streets of Pennsylvania in the late 1800’s. Desperate and alone, the penniless 7 year old Sophie, entrusts an older woman who hires her to bring food each night to someone living in her attic. There is just one rule: Do not pass the serving table….EVER.
As time passes, the child’s curiosity grows bold; drawing her closer to discovering the truth behind the prisoner.”
Principle photography is set to begin in late summer or early fall. We’ll keep you posted.
