‘Poor Boy’ – Guy Pearce & Teresa Palmer Starring in Supernatural Movie

Guy Pearce (Killing Faith) and Teresa Palmer (Lights Out) will lead the cast of upcoming supernatural movie Poor Boy alongside Ann Dowd (Hereditary), Deadline reports today.

Jeffrey Walker (Apple Cider Vinegar) is directing the supernatural thriller.

In Poor Boy, “After a near fatal accident on his seventh birthday, a boy awakens from his coma, only to claim to be the reincarnation of a man who died seven years ago. As the boy’s parents and the family of the deceased man wrestle with suspicion and grief, they are faced with two impossible alternatives – are they dealing with a genuine rebirth or a vengeful ghost?”

The movie adapts Matt Cameron’s 2009 stage play for the screen.

Guy Pearce said, “Having been part of Poor Boy since first performing it for the Melbourne Theatre Company in 2009, it’s a great thrill to be bringing it to the screen. Matt Cameron’s vivid and emotional story delves into long buried secrets most families would rather forget, exposing universal frailties and truths that I think will captivate audiences everywhere.”

Anthony Buckner, AMP’s Head of Sales & Acquisitions, adds, “AMP is thrilled to launch Poor Boy on the world at AFM. This isn’t your standard ghost tale. It’s an exceptional story with high stakes, a superb cast, and an incredibly talented team to bring this supernatural puzzle to life.”
