David Dastmalchian & Ashley Greene Harvest Blood in Horror Movie The Cure

Late Night with the Devil’s David Dastmalchian and The Twilight Saga’s Ashley Greene are set to headline the horror thriller The Cure from director Nancy Leopardi (Maggie Moore(s), The Donor Party).

The Cure is written by Unsane scribes Jonathan Bernstein and James Greer. Dastmalchian and Greene are set to play wealthy parents who harvest their daughter’s blood for vile reasons. The horror thriller has already wrapped filming in Los Angeles.

Who else is in The Cure cast?

According to Deadline, Dastmalchian and Greene will be joined by newcomer Samantha Cochran. She will portray the 16-year-old adopted daughter of Dastmalchian and Greene, who will soon find out that her wealthy bio-tech billionaire adoptive parents are using her blood for wicked purposes.

The rest of the cast includes Sydney Taylor (American Born Chinese), Tyler Lawrence Gray (The Girl in the Pool), and Dylan Flashner (Code Name Banshee).

“The Cure is made in the tradition of classic horror and sci-fi films that are inspired by terrifying socio-political realities and advances in bio-technology. Like Ex-Machina, A.I., and Videodrome I believe we are on the cusp of a revolution in science and the big question is – who will benefit?” the director said in a statement (via Deadline).

The Cure is produced by Showdown Productions’ John Ierardi and Bo Youngblood; Indy Entertainment, and Rebel Entertainment’s Natalie Marciano and Rock Jacobs.

Dastmalchian is a known name in the horror genre, having recently starred in the hit Late Night with the Devil. He is also known for his roles in The Dark Knight, Prisoners, Ant-Man, The Belko Experiment, The Suicide Squad, Dune, Boston Strangler, The Boogeyman, and Oppenheimer. He can next be seen starring alongside Kate Siegel in the planned zombie movie Epilogue.

Meanwhile, Greene — best known for her portrayal of Alice Cullen in The Twilight Saga — has recently starred in Some Other Woman and The Retirement Plan. Her other feature credits include The Immaculate Room, Aftermath, Bombshell, Antiquities, Kristy, LOL, and more.
