Turpentine Adds Six Cast Members to Thriller Alongside Connor Storrie and Melissa McCarthy

The thriller Turpentine continues building its ensemble, with six fresh faces joining the project headlined by Connor Storrie and Melissa McCarthy.

The film centers on a mother who takes action after her son recruits friends to steal the family's antique gun collection as a way to cover a financial obligation. Her intervention sets off a chain reaction that tests the family's relationships to the breaking point.

Craig Zobel is at the helm, directing from a screenplay by Justin Varava. The production counts Rian Johnson, the filmmaker behind Knives Out, among its producers.

"It's a true joy to bring this story to life with such an accomplished cast," Zobel said in a statement. "These actors bring incredible depth, intensity and wit to the material, and with Melissa at the center of this dysfunctional family, we're telling a story that will keep audiences surprised and entertained until the very end. I'm thrilled to be making it with T-Street, ShivHans Pictures, and this team."

Production is currently active in Atlanta, Georgia. The newly announced cast includes Boyd Holbrook, Michael Peña, Paul Walter Hauser, Teyonah Parris, Will Brill, and Veronika Slowikowska, with one actress reuniting with McCarthy from a previous project.
