Additional casting news is in for the William Brent Bell helmed horror-thriller.
Mamie Gummer, Madeline Brewer, Violet McGraw, and Brian Cox have been tapped to star in Separation. The four have joined the previously announced Rupert Friend.
Bell is directing from a script penned by Nick Amadeus and Joshua Braun. The story explores the harsh consequences of divorce in what has been described as a cross between Kramer vs. Kramer and Sixth Sense. Friend and Gummer will play Jeff and Maggie, a newly separated couple battling for custody of their 7-year-old daughter (McGraw). Brewer will play the couple’s longtime nanny, and Cox will star as Maggie’s overbearing father.
Bell is producing with Yale Productions’ Jordan Yale Levine, Jordan Beckerman Russ Posternak and Jesse Korman, and RainMaker’s Clay Pecorin and Russell Geyser. Seth Posternak and Dennis Rice serve as executive producers.
Production is currently underway in New York.
