He will star alongside Morfydd Clark in the film, which is based on Andrew Michael Hurley’s novel of the same name.

Here’s a summary for the movie: “Set in their family estate, Starve Acre, in rural 1970s England, Richard (played by Smith) and Juliette (Clark) find their idyllic family life disrupted when their son Ewan starts acting strangely. The formerly happy couple grow farther apart when Richard buries himself in local folklore -— including the myth that an ancient oak tree set on their estate possesses phenomenal powers — while Juliette seeks comfort in their local community.

Just when it seems the couple may reconnect, ‘dark and sinister forces’ find their way into the family home and their attention is diverted by an unexpected discovery.”

The film is currently in pre-production and will start shooting later this spring in the U.K.

Last year, Matt revealed he almost had a role in this famous franchise.
