Vernon Davis, Malcolm Goodwin, David Anders, Olivia Grace Applegate, Andrea Sixtos and Tommy Wiseau Join Psychological Horror ‘Lake Vernon’ (EXCLUSIVE)
variety.comKatcy Stephan Former NFL star turned filmmaker Vernon Davis (“The Ritual Killer”), Malcolm Goodwin (“Reacher”), David Anders (“The Vampire Diaries”), Olivia Grace Applegate (“Love and Death”), Andrea Sixtos (“Arrow”) and Tommy Wiseau (“Big Shark”) are set to star in “Lake Vernon,” which is currently filming in Baton Rouge, La.
Directed by Aaron Jay Rome (“End Trip”), Lake Vernon is a chilling psychological horror in the vein of “Talk to Me” and “The Invitation.” The story is by Davis and Tiffany Toney, and was adapted for the screen by Rome and Isaiah LaBorde. “Old wounds resurface when a fractured group of friends reunites for a weekend retreat at an exclusive lakeside sanctuary,” the film’s official logline reads. “As buried tensions and unspoken betrayals bubble to the surface, the lake itself seems to be listening — watching — offering impossible miracles at a cost none of them understand.
In the stillness of Lake Vernon, healing and horror are one and the same.” Davis will produce the project under his Real 85 Productions banner alongside Rome and LaBorde.
Davis is also executive producing. The film’s editor is Scott Conrad, who previously won the Academy Award in 1977 for editing “Rocky.” Since retiring from the NFL during a Super Bowl commercial in 2020, Davis has immersed himself in the world of film and television as both an actor and producer.
