The Walking Dead star Chandler Riggs and Super 8 star Joel Courtney are joining the cast of the Stephen King screen adaptation, Mercy. In the adaptation, which is based from a short story by King called "Gramma" (from his collection of short fiction, "Skeleton Crew"), they will play two brothers who along with their mother visits their gramma who unknown to them is a witch who made a deal with black magic in the past. This evil deal, of course has grave consequences.
Peter Cornwell (The Haunting in Connecticut) is at work behind-cam on the movie of which script was penned by Matt Greenberg, who, if we may remember, helped in working the script for 1408, another King adaptation. Jason Blum, McG and Mary Viola are all on board as producers. Frances O'Connor who recently appeared in the Willem Dafoe adventure-drama The Hunter assumes the role of the mother.
All details are undisclosed of the moment, but as they emerge we're posting. Check back some time.
