Keri Russell May Be Joining Guillermo Del Toro-Produced Thriller ‘Antlers’

Russell is circling the role of “a teacher who takes an interest in a mysterious and withdrawn student. Only too late does she discover that the boy is harboring a deadly secret that is key to their town’s survival,” THR writes. From the sounds of the logline, it seems like Russell is set to play the lead in the horror thriller.
Although the multitalented Russell has a colorful resume that spans from romance, to action, to family films, horror is a genre that she has not yet tackled. While many young actresses have had their breakout roles in horror, Russell is kind of taking the opposite path — taking on a horror role later in her career. But with Hollywood in the midst of a new wave of high-concept horror, and the impressive pedigree that Antlers boasts behind the scenes, this would be an exciting next project for Russell to take on.
