David Harbour has landed a leading role in a new dark comedy now moving into production. The project also reunites the producing team behind some of the biggest recent horror hits. The upcoming film brings together several notable names from television and film. While many details are still being kept secret, the project has already started gaining buzz.
David Harbour cast in Little One produced by Weapons’ Zach Cregger and Roy Lee
According to Deadline, David Harbour and Gaby Hoffmann have officially signed on to star in Little One, a dark comedy that marks the feature directorial debut of filmmaker Alex Kavutskiy. Kavutskiy also wrote the screenplay.
The story centers on a seemingly perfect family whose life begins to unravel after a sudden and troubling change in a child’s behavior. Plot specifics and character details remain under wraps. Production is scheduled to begin in Los Angeles this month with support from a California tax credit program.
One reason the project is generating interest is the involvement of producers Zach Cregger and Roy Lee. The pair recently collaborated on Weapons and previously worked together on the acclaimed horror hit Barbarian.
Financing comes from Hammerstone Studios, which is reuniting with Cregger and Lee following their earlier success. Several other producers and executive producers are attached, including Chris McEwen, Amanda Phillips, Melina Torres, Ibrahim Mohammed, Chase Vergari, and Kevin G. Lee, among others.
For Harbour, the role adds to an already packed schedule. The actor recently earned a Gotham TV Award for his supporting performance in HBO’s DTF St. Louis. He is still best known worldwide for playing Jim Hopper in Netflix’s Stranger Things, a role he portrayed across five seasons. His portfolio also includes movies like Extraction, Black Widow, Hellboy and more. In addition, fans will soon see him return as Red Guardian in Avengers: Doomsday.
Meanwhile, Hoffmann arrives with strong credentials of her own. She has starred in projects such as Transparent and C’mon C’mon, and Eric.
