STYD reports that Jackson Rathbone (Twilight) has been cast in Clive Barker’s upcoming film Dread.
In development at Matador and Essential Entertainment, the film will be adapted from Barker’s short story which tells the story of a student of philosophy who is obsessed with people’s dreads and fears. He is also engaged with his own nightmare of an axe murdering clown.
To understand more of others’ fears, he concocts a series of experiments to observe how other people react to the things that horrify them the most. While he begins to understand the fear of others, his own fear lies just beyond his control.
The film will begin shooting this October in UK.
