WINCHESTER

“It’s hard to believe this can possibly satisfy both the casual horror buff and the more diehard supernatural purist,” says Edward Douglas.

 

Helen Mirren and Jason Clarke star in the gothic horror film based on true events, from Jigsaw helmers, the Spierig Brothers.

The new movie from Michael and Peter Spierig (“Daybreakers”) will be released by CBS Films on Feb 2, 2018.

CBS Films’ forthcoming Winchester has tapped Everest star Jason Clarke to join Helen Mirren in the thriller based on the real-life story of Sarah Winchester, who was convinced that she was haunted by the souls killed at the hands of the Winchester rifle.

Michael and Peter Spierig’s long-gestating Winchester starring Helen Mirren has landed at CBS Films. The studio has acquired the U.S. distribution rights for the drama from Bullitt Entertainment and Diamond Pictures.

We trust they’ll find their way.

Logline: Revolves around heir Sarah Winchester, who, after the deaths of her husband and child, begins building a massive mansion to appease the vengeful spirits.
