Rebecca Hall up for The Awakening


13 May 2010

It is reported that Rebecca Hall, next seen in 'Please Give' alongside Catherine Keener, has signed to British thriller The Awakening.

TV director Nick Murphy is behind the camera for this one, a tale of ghosts and mystery set in 1920s England.

Rebecca will join Dominic West and Imelda Staunton in the thriller, the story revolves around a sceptical scientist (Hall, presumedly) journeys to a countryside boarding school where rumours are rife about spectral activity. She initially thinks she’s debunked the idea (maybe she pulls a mask off the janitor and he announces he would’ve gotten away with it were it not for her meddling?) but then she has a frightening supernatural encounter that changes her mind.

David Thompson, who is from Origin Pictures, who are financing the project said “This is a riveting and very original script and we are thrilled that it is to be directed by Nick Murphy as his first feature."

Stephen Volk who is best known for 'Ghostwatch' is writing the script with Nick Murphy.
