“Midnight Mass” Writer Heads to the Wilderness With ‘Lovely, Dark, and Deep’

Deadline has the first casting news for Lovely, Dark, and Deep, a psychological horror film from “Midnight Mass” scribe Teresa Sutherland.

“The writer-director’s first feature charts the journey of Lennon (Georgina Campbell; Apple TV+’s upcoming “Suspicion”), a new backcountry ranger, who travels alone through the dangerous wilderness, hoping to uncover the origins of a tragedy that has haunted her for most of her life.

Nick Blood (pictured below in Marvel’s “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”) will play Jackson, a seasoned park ranger encountered by Lennon deep in the backcountry, with Wai Ching Ho (STXfilms’ Hustlers) portraying District Ranger Zhang, the most senior ranger in the national park, who will do anything to protect it.”

Production is underway in Portugal.

Josh Waller (Mandy, Color Out of Space) is producing for Woodhead Creative. Stefanie Coimbra is exec producing for House of Quest Films, alongside Molly C. Quinn, Matthew M. Welty, and Elan Gale for QWGmire.
