CALLUM TURNER TO LEAD
A PRAYER FOR THE DYING PERIOD SET MOVIE
Currently scoring success in Masters of the Air and Boys in the Boat, our boy Callum Turner is ready to join another historical project: as Deadline
reports, together with Gustav Lindh and Kristine Kujath Thorp, he will lead A PRAYER FOR THE DYING from director Dara Van Dusen. Based on a novel by Stewart O’Nan, the film takes place in 1870 in Friendship, Wisconsin, a small town of Scandinavian settlers still suffering the repercussions of the recent Civil War. When faced with a new and even deadlier threat, one man is forced to make a harrowing choice: save his young family or defend the community that gave him a second chance at life and meaning. Shooting starts this summer.
