Rachel McAdams is in negotiations to star in Sam Raimi‘s horror-thriller Send Help
Oscar nominee Rachel McAdams might be starring in her first horror movie soon if the current talks regarding her taking on a role in a new horror-thriller from Sam Raimi goes well. The film is titled Send Help, and McAdams is currently in negotiations to star.
20th Century Studios is behind this horror project with Raimi signed on to produce and direct. Raimi is best known for being the creator of the highly successful Evil Dead horror franchise. McAdams is known for starring in popular romance movies such as The Notebook, The Wedding Crashers, The Vow and Disobedience. She's also known for starring as Regina George in the hit teen comedy Mean Girls. Her most recent projects were playing herself in the comedy sitcom Dave and as Barbara Simon in the comedy-drama Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret.
If McAdams ends up joining the cast of Send Help, this wouldn't be the first time she and Raimi worked together. They previously worked together on the Marvel superhero film Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. According to Deadline, discussions on McAdam's potential casting in this film are in the early stages.
Send Help is based on an original script by Damian Shannon and Mark Swift (Baywatch). It is described as being somewhere between the 1990 psychological thriller Misery and the survival drama film Castaway. Unfortunately, not much is known about the movie's plot besides the story taking place on an island. In addition, Zainab Azizi (Boy Kills World, 65, Umma) will produce via Raimi Productions. The last piece of information that's been revealed about this movie so far is that it's expected to be given a theatrical release.
McAdams is an amazing actress, and we'd love to see her branch out from the romance world to enter the horror world. As we learn new information about Send Help, we'll be sure to come back and share everything we found. But for now, stay tuned to 1428 Elm!
