Sarah Paulson has signed on to star in the horror thriller Dust, which will be released as a Hulu Original in the United States. Coming to us from Searchlight Pictures, Dust is set to start filming in late August with William Joines and Karrie Crouse on board to direct. This will be the feature directorial debut for both of them.
Crouse wrote the screenplay for Dust, which will tell the story of
a woman who is trapped by increasingly perilous dust storms and is haunted by her past encounters with a threatening presence and takes extraordinary measures to protect her family.
