Ahna O'Reilly and Haley Joel Osment also aboard the thriller
He’s back on our screens next month as driven Dwarf leader Thorin Oakenshield. But with the Hobbit films finally complete, Richard Armitage is long since on to other things. He’s currently at work on a psychological thriller called Sleepwalker alongside Ahna O’Reilly and Haley Joel Osment.
O’Reilly is the focus of this one, playing a graduate student who starts suffering from insomnia after her sleep patterns are interrupted by a nasty bout of nightmares. When she heads to a campus sleep clinic to start getting treatment, she instead starts seeing disturbing changes to her waking reality. Armitage will be a doctor who helps untangle her psychological knots and understand how her tragic past is contributing to her difficult present.
As for Osment, he’s lined up for what Deadline has heard is a role unlike anything he’s done before, which makes us think he could be a nasty villain in the film. Jack Olsen wrote the script and Elliot Lester is calling the shots in Los Angeles.
Armitage, as mentioned, will be in The Hobbit: The Battle Of The Five Armies, arriving here on December 12. O’Reilly is part of the cast for James Brown biopic Get On Up, which is out on Friday, while Osment is in Kevin Smith’s Tusk and has recently worked on the director’s next pic, Yoga Hosers.
