Rachel McAdams in Talks to Star in Sam Raimi’s Horror Thriller “Send Help”

Update: McAdams Closes In on Starring Role in Raimi’s New Horror Project

According to Deadline, Rachel McAdams is circling a starring role in Send Help, a 20th Century Studios chiller that will be directed by Sam Raimi. The movie is currently being pitched as an island-set two-hander that falls somewhere between Rob Reiner’s Misery and Robert Zemeckis’ Cast Away.

Raimi’s First Horror Effort Since “Drag Me To Hell”

For Raimi, Send Help would represent his first directorial outing since his tangle with the Master of the Mystic Arts, and his first out-and-out horror effort since 2009’s Drag Me To Hell. As for McAdams, the movie would be a marked change of tone and pace from her last major film, Kelly Freeman Craig’s cosy coming-of-age confection Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret.

McAdams’ Prospective Role: A Co-Leading Effort?

Whilst it wouldn’t be wild to speculate that McAdams’ prospective role would almost certainly be a co-leading effort (two-handers generally don’t need a third set of digited limbs, after all), nothing’s officially been announced as of yet. Hell, technically the movie hasn’t actually been greenlit just yet, though McAdams’ reported interest in the project certainly won’t hurt its prospects.

What We Know So Far About Send Help

Send Help is currently in the development stage, and no further details on the plot have been revealed. However, we can expect a tense and thrilling ride, given Raimi’s track record and the promise of a chilling horror story.

Conclusion

As we wait for 20th Century Studios to send updates on Send Help, we can only hope that McAdams’ reported interest in the project translates to a successful collaboration with Raimi. Fans of both the actors and the director can look forward to a chilling horror thriller that promises to deliver.
