Ben Mendelsohn, Scoot McNairy and others land roles in Casey Affleck’s Company
According to a recent report published by Variety, Casey Affleck’s new mystery movie has assembled a stacked cast.
Nick Nolte (Cape Fear), Adelaide Clemens (The Great Gatsby), Ben Mendelsohn (The Dark Knight Rises, Captain Marvel), and Scoot McNairy (Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice) will lead the proceedings. Emily Alyn Lind (We Were Liars) and Affleck’s partner, Caylee Cowan (Sunrise in Heaven), will also play pivotal roles.
Written and directed by the Oscar winner, Company takes place on a 1975 winter night. The film follows a mysterious woman named Evelyn, who arrives uninvited at a holiday gathering. She narrates the 20-year-old tale of Tom, an aging hermit who once saved an actress from a blizzard in Colorado. To pass the night, the actress recounts an older story. It centers on a farming couple who once sheltered a troubled young drifter, despite the ongoing threat of grisly murders in the region.
Steven Schneider and Roy Lee lead the producing duties under the Spooky Pictures banner. Cowan, Affleck, Dan Lawler, Sean Patrick O’Reilly, K. Asher Levin, Enzo Marc, and Anthony Katagas also serve as producers on the project.
Meanwhile, the executive producers include Ben Ross (Image Nation Studios) and Rami Yasin (Spooky Pictures). Maria Breese (3:33 Creative Productions), Ronnie Exley, and Jeremy Ross (Rabbits Black) are also on board, along with Ron McLeod, Dr. Terence Chan, Jonathan Miller, and Bryan Meng.
Describing Affleck’s new movie, Spooky Pictures co-founders Schneider and Lee noted, “With ‘Company,’ Casey has crafted an intimate gothic mystery about the complex ties that bind us across generations, offering a powerful confrontation with how the past continues to ripple into the present. The film combines striking cinematic landscapes with emotionally powerful performances to create an experience for audiences that will be both quietly unsettling and profoundly human.”
