‘Fall’ Star Grace Caroline Currey to Lead ‘The Breed’ Remake (EXCLUSIVE)
Grace Caroline Currey has joined the cast of “The Breed,” and is set to lead the film. Directed by brothers Nathan and Griff Furst, the film is an “unconventional reimagining of the Wes Craven cult classic.” The brothers will produce together through their company, Curmudgeon Films.
The film centers around Currey’s character Violet, “a rebel icon and badass on a mission to search for abandoned dogs on a remote island which leads to complete adrenaline-fueled terror.”
Currey most recently starred in Lionsgate’s adventure thriller, “Fall,” directed by Scott Mann. The film follows two daredevil climbers, Becky (Currey) and Hunter (Virginia Gardner), who decide to scale the B67 TV tower — an abandoned 2,000-foot communication tower that juts up in the middle of the California desert.
She also portrayed superhero Mary Marvel and Mary Bromfield in “Shazam: Fury of the Gods” alongside co-stars Zachary Levi, Asher Angel, Jack Dylan Grazer, Rachel Zegler, Adam Brody, Ross Butler, D. J. Cotrona, Meagan Good, Lucy Liu, Djimon Hounsou and Helen Mirren.
Currey starred in New Line’s “Annabelle: Creation,” the fourth installment in The Conjuring franchise. She studied at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in London and was nominated for Best Actress at the Milan International Film Festival for her role in “Badland,” an indie feature with “Hocus Pocus” actor Vinessa Shaw.
“The Breed” is co-produced and financed by Daro Film Distribution, which also represents the international rights to the film.
Currey is represented by Mainstay Entertainment, Innovative Artists, and Hansen, Jacobson, Teller, Hoberman, Newman, Warren, Richman, Rush, Kaller, Gellman, Meigs & Fox.
