Frank Grillo, the star of last year’s The Purge: Anarchy has signed on to star in Akiva Goldsman‘s upcoming supernatural horror film, Stephanie. Universal Pictures has picked up the film from Blumhouse Productions and Chapter One.
Stephanie was written by Ben Collins and Luke Piotrowski with Akiva Goldsman to direct.
Abandoned by her parents in their remote home, Stephanie survives on peanut butter and conversations with her toy turtle, while a dark supernatural force looms in the background. When her mother and father return to claim her, the malevolent power spins out of control with Stephanie at the center.
Jason Blum and Matt Kaplan will produce with Ellen Goldsmith-Vein and Adrienne Biddle, while Nate Matteson, Eric Robinson and Bryan Bertino will executive produce.
Grillo also starred in last year’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier and will return for the upcoming Captain America: Civil War.
