Nicholas Hoult might not have had as much success with Jack the Giant Slayer as he’d hoped, but he’s still one of the hottest young actors around. He’s currently heading for the X-Men: Days Of Future Past set and after that he’ll star in the Dark Places, alongside Charlize Theron and Chloe Moretz, according to Deadline.
The project is based on the Gillian Flynn novel about Libby Day (Charlize Theron), a woman who is still haunted by the massacre of her family 25 years earlier. As a child, Libby testified in court that her brother was the killer. However, when an organisation known as The Kill Club begins investigating the case, trying to prove her brother’s innocence, Libby is forced to face her past once again and realise there are more suspects out there. Nicholas Hoult is set to play Lyle, the awkward treasurer of The Kill Club.
Gilles Paquet-Brenner (Sarah’s Key) is directing from his own adapted screenplay. Shooting should start later this year.
