A new film, featuring actresses Emma Thomson (Harry Potter, and Lovem, Actually), and The Help’s Viola Davis, begins filming in Louisiana this spring. This movie, experts explain is a “hauntingly intense coming of age story set in the South (about) two star-crossed teenage lovers, Ethan, a local boy, and a mysterious new girl, Lena, who uncover dark secrets about their families, their history and their town”. Thompson will be portraying both the religious troublemaker Mrs. Lincoln, and the evil witch that possesses her. While Davis takes on a tamer role of the town librarian who is also the caretaker of Ethan. Jack O’Connell and Alice Englert have already booked the roles of Ethan and Lena, who are the story’s central characters. O’Connell is a young English actor previously seen in “Weekender”, and Englert is an actress from New Zealand. Casting directors are still auditioning many roles for this picture, and anticipate opportunities for extras  here in Louisiana.
