Jeffrey Dean Morgan has been cast to star opposite Hilary Swank in the suspense/thriller The Resident.
From Hammer Films' Press Release: “The Resident” is inspired by the fact that every year, millions of single women in America move into apartments for the fist time. They do not know who lived in the apartment before them, they do not know their landlords, and they don’t bother to change the locks. This is the story of one such woman, a pretty, young doctor Juliet Dermer (Swank), who is settling into a new life and a new loft in Brooklyn when mysterious occurrences lead her to suspect that she is not alone in her home. Her fears quickly become all too real, and in a chilling revelation she discovers that her seemingly charming, young landlord, Max (Morgan), has developed a dangerous obsession with her. A terrifying game of cat and mouse ensues as Juliet fights to free herself from Max’s sinister intentions.
Antti J. Jokinen and Robert Orr wrote the initial script, rewritten by Erin Cressida Wilson. The film is the feature debut for Jokinen. Hammer Films is producing on behalf of parent company Exclusive Media Group.
