‘Starve Acre’: Matt Smith and ‘Saint Maud’s’ Morfydd Clark to star in New Supernatural Horror
Last Night in Soho star Matt Smith and Saint Maud’s Morfydd Clark are to lead supernatural horror film Starve Acre from Apostasy creator Daniel Kokotajlo. Cornerstone is handling world sales and will launch at next month’s European Film Market according to sources for Deadline.
The new horror film is being adapted from an Andrew Michael Hurley novel of the same name and production will begin this Spring. The story follows Richard (Smith) and Juliette (Clark), whose whole world is turned upside down when their young son, Ewan begins acting oddly. “At Starve Acre, their remote family home, archaeologist Richard buries himself in exploring a folkloric myth that the ancient oak tree on their land is imbued with phenomenal powers, while Juliette turns to the local community to find some kind of peace.”

Tessa Ross and Juliette Howell‘s company House Productions is producing the film, which is being developed with BBC Film and funded by BBC Film, Access Entertainment and the BFI.
“Starve Acre is already a genre defining modern classic and Daniel’s singular vision and this exceptional cast will bring great depth and strength to this evocative story,” Ross said.
The Crown and Doctor Who star Matt Smith was most recently seen on screen in Edgar Wright’s Last Night in Soho. Morfydd Clark recently starred in 2019’s horror Saint Maud, Dracula series and His Dark Materials. Be sure to stay tuned to ScaryNerd as more information becomes available on this story.
