Jonathan Rhys Meyers (“The Tudors”) and Ben Miles (“Andor”) are set to make waves in The Catch, Deadline reports.
Irish filmmaker Jo Southwell will make her feature debut on the horror film, which begins production in March.
It follows a ruthless culinary showdown as a brilliant but obsessive chef journeys to Cornwall in search of the rarest seafood of all — a mermaid. As obsession turns to madness, the chef learns that some legends are better left undiscovered.
Mermaid Films’ Sara Gibbings (“Welcome to Wrexham”) is producing alongside Epic Pictures, who will introduce the project to buyers at the American Film Market.
“The Catch is a razor-sharp blend of myth and obsession, a story that reminds us that the real monsters are often human,” said Epic Pictures CEO Patrick Ewald. “With Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Ben Miles bringing fierce depth to their roles, and the visionary partnership of Jo Southwell and Sara Gibbings steering the project, this haunting film is destined to make waves.”
Meyers and Miles previously worked together on NBC’s “Dracula” series, in which Meyers starred in the titular role and Miles played Lorn Browning.
