Michelle Rodriguez revealed in a recent interview with Indie Wire that she is close to signing on to co-star in THE HOME for Dimension Films: “More likely than not I’ll be doing that this summer over there. They’re getting production set up now.”
Rodriguez always seems to play the same kind of character, whether it’s in AVATAR, RESIDENT EVIL, MACHETE or most recently BATTLE: LOS ANGELES. She’s the go-to badass action chick, but at least she’s good at it. We’ll see if the typecasting changes for the upcoming picture. Here’s the plot:
THE HOME unfolds after a young man is nearly killed during a horrible accident that leaves him physically and emotionally scarred. To recuperate, he is taken to a secluded nursing home where the elderly residents appear to be suffering from delusions. But after witnessing a violent attack, he soon realizes that the screams behind the walls are caused by more than hallucinations, and the residents are being preyed upon by twisted, monstrous nightmares that lurk within the home itself.
Rodriguez would join Brian Cox, Cloris Leachman, Louise Fletcher, Louis Gossett Jr., Ed Asner and Fionnula Flanagan. THE HOME marks the feature debut of Kristoffer Aaron Morgan, who directs a script by AICN’s Eric Vespe. The pair previously collaborated on a short entitled BLIND.
