Rebecca Ferguson is having one hell of a week. She’s currently in Mission: Impossible – Fallout, the number one movie in America, and now the actress has landed roles in two high profile movies. It was reported today that she has been cast in the Men In Black spinoff and Doctor Sleep, the sequel to The Shining.
Ferguson will begin shooting Men In Black first, which is already in production. The film stars Chris Hemsworth, Tessa Thompson, Liam Neeson. Emma Thompson, Rafe Spall & Kumail Nanjani.
After she wraps shooting on Men In Black, she will then shoot Doctor Sleep, which Mike Flanagan co-wrote and directs. Ewan McGregor stars as the grown-up Danny Torrance, and the film also has Carl Lumbly, Alex Essoe and Zarn McClarnon in key roles. Ferguson’s Rose The Hat is the head of a cult that feeds on the “steam” created by young people who have a touch of the “shining.” That steam escapes as the young people die painfully. Flanagan rewrote Akiva Goldsman’s adaptation of Stephen King’s 2013 novel that picks up the life of the Redrum kid when he is in his 40s and struggling with the same demons of anger and alcoholism that plagued his father.
To add more good news, if Mission: Impossible should get another installment, she’s also a lock for that as well. Not a bad week at all.
