Horror icons Kane Hodder and Bill Moseley are teaming up to star in the indie horror film Covet, Variety has learned.
When a sleazy car salesman is framed for the murder of his mistress, he must prove his innocence — only to learn the forces responsible may not be human.
The film marks the sophomore effort from writer-director Brian McQuery, who recently helmed Plea with another genre favorite, Heather Lagenkamp.
“I’m thrilled to work with Kane in a role crafted to take advantage of both his intimidating presence and sense of humor,” McQuery said in a statement. “And I can not wait to see what Bill Moseley will do with his portrayal of Sheriff Troy.”
Covet is produced by Spyder Dobrofsky under his Worlds Apart banner.
“Icons Kane Hodder and Bill Moseley sharing the screen together, with Brian’s wildly original script, is exactly the type of horror we’ve been looking for at Worlds Apart,” added Dobrofsky. “We couldn’t be more excited to bring Brian’s vision to life, and give the horror audience the chills, scares, and nostalgia they love so much.”
Hodder and Moseley have shared the screen several times in the past, including in The Devil’s Rejects (on which Hodder served as stunt coordinator), Death House, Charlie’s Farm, Shed of the Dead, Old 37, Almost Mercy, Hayride to Hell, and “Holliston.”
