Margaret Qualley’s ‘Startling’ Horror Movie Gets Exciting Update

Margaret Qualley’s new horror movie, described as a “startling new vision of supernatural forces,” has just received an exciting update. 

The upcoming movie, titled King Snake, will see Qualley starring alongside Drew Starkey as a young couple whose new life in rural Arkansas quickly unravels into something far more sinister. Nuremberg and Death by Lightning actor Michael Shannon is also attached to the project as a cast member. 

What is the latest King Snake update?

Filming is currently underway in Arkansas on King Snake. It is directed by Jeff Nichols, the filmmaker behind The Bikeriders, Loving, Midnight Special, Mud, and Shotgun Stories. Nichols also directed Take Shelter, a psychological thriller in which Shannon also starred.

Per Deadline, the Southern gothic horror movie “follows a young couple (Qualley and Starkey) who inherit a farm in rural Arkansas and must conquer the demons, both physical and metaphysical, that haunt its legacy…forces of good and evil collide in a terrifying film where real-world challenges crash headlong into other worldly creatures and myths.”

Nichols is also producing the project in association with Range Media Partners, alongside Brian Kavanaugh-Jones and Sarah Green. FilmNation (the distribution company behind films like Anora, Conclave, The Life of Chuck, and more) is in charge of worldwide sales. 

FilmNation’s new Chief Creative Officer, Stacey Snider, in a statement said: “Jeff’s startling new vision of supernatural forces is as extraordinary as it is enthralling, and we can’t wait for this incredible story to bewitch and captivate audiences around the world.”

Qualley, best known for her role as Sue in the acclaimed body horror film The Substance, boasts quite an impressive filmography. Her feature credits include Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Sanctuary, Poor Things, Kinds of Kindness, and — most recently — How to Make a Killing. 

Starkey, on the other hand, is known for his roles in Hellraiser, The Other Zoey, Queer, and Netflix’s mystery teen drama Outer Banks.

Other details about King Snake have yet to be unveiled.
