Five join Naomi Watts in Summer of Sam thriller The Wolf Hour

Jennifer Ehle Zero Dark Thirty

We learned last month that Naomi Watts is starring in writer/director Alistair Banks Griffin's psychological thriller THE WOLF HOUR, and now that production is officially underway (filming began in New York this past Monday) we also know the names of several of her co-stars.

While no details on their characters have been revealed, it has been announced that the supporting cast of THE WOLF HOUR includes Kelvin Harrison Jr., Emory Cohen, Brennan Brown, Jeremy Bobb, and two-time Tony winner Jennifer Ehle (pictured above).

Set in the South Bronx during the summer of 1977, when serial killer David Berkowitz, the "Son of Sam", was terrorizing the area, THE WOLF HOUR stars Watts as 

a formerly celebrated counter-culture figure who now lives alone in her fifth floor South Bronx apartment, having all but cut herself off from the outside world during the 1977 “Summer of Sam.” As she retreats further into isolation, an unseen tormentor begins exploiting her weaknesses and her carefully guarded universe begins to unravel.

It has been said that the film will be delivering "Hitchcockian tension".

This sounds like a very interesting project to me, so I will definitely be keeping a close eye on it as it makes its way through production and toward distribution.
