Legendary and Universal Pictures have released the first clip from Guillermo del Toro’s upcoming haunted house picture Crimson Peak featuring two-time Academy award nominee Jessica Chastain (Zero Dark Thirty, A Most Violent Year), Tom Hiddleston (Marvel’s The Avengers, Only Lovers Left Alive) and Mia Wasikowska (Stoker, Alice in Wonderland). Check it out in the player below!
Also starring Charlie Hunnam (“Sons of Anarchy,” Pacific Rim) and Jim Beaver (“Supernatural,” “Justified”), the Universal Pictures release is directed by Guillermo del Toro, the man responsible for films like Hellboy, Pan’s Labyrinth and The Devil’s Backbone, and written by both del Toro and Matthew Robbins (Mimic, Dragonslayer).
Set in the aftermath of a family tragedy, the film follows an aspiring author, who is torn between love for her childhood friend and the temptation of a mysterious outsider. Trying to escape the ghosts of her past, she is swept away to a house that breathes, bleeds… and remembers.
A co-production between Legendary and Universal Pictures, Crimson Peak is produced by Del Toro, Thomas Tull, Jon Jashni and Callum Greene with Jillian Share serving as executive producer. Look for it to hit both 2D theaters and IMAX beginning October 16!
