Adam Scott may be busy facing off against shady office types in hit Apple TV Plus series Severance right now, but he'll soon have a bigger threat to fight in writer-director Damian McCarthy's new horror movie: witches.
Having recently signed up for the lead role, as revealed by Variety, Scott is gearing up to play a horror novelist in supernatural chiller Hokum; a Stephen King-type who travels to rural Ireland to scatter his parents' ashes – oblivious to the fact that the inn he's booked to stay at is supposedly haunted by an ancient enchantress. Peter Coonan (Bad Sisters) and David Wilmot (Bodkin) round out the supporting cast.
