eOne and Macro’s upcoming drama Freaky Tales has assembled an A-list cast to bring its original story to life. According to Deadline, Pedro Pascal, Ben Mendelsohn, Jay Ellis, and Jack Champion have been cast to play the main roles in the drama. The cast is rounded out by Angus Cloud, Dominique Thorne, Keir Gilchrist, and Michelle Farrah Huang.
Freaky Tales is the creation of celebrated filmmaking duo Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden, best known for writing and directing the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Captain Marvel, a box office hit that was the franchise's first female superhero-led movie. The story will be loosely based on Fleck's childhood experience growing up in Oakland, California, and will explore real-life locations as well as notable historical events. However, some fictional elements will be thrown in for dramatic effect.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Pascal gained widespread prominence for portraying Oberyn Martell in HBO's hit fantasy series, Game of Thrones. He parlayed his GOT success into taking on projects more centered on his characters, including playing the titular protagonist in The Mandalorian. Pascal recently wrapped up filming for the first season of HBO's upcoming drama The Last of Us which reunites him with fellow GOT alum, Bella Ramsey.
In addition to the aforementioned cast, Freaky Tales will also feature appearances from some Oakland natives. The film will be executive produced by eOne's Jillian Share, Jen Gorton, and Chanel Vidal. Producers include Jelani Johnson and Poppy Hanks from MACRO Film Studios. Other executive producers include famous Oakland hip-hop legend, Too $hort, and his manager David Weintraub.
Freaky Tales is in its early production stages, thus the coming months will reveal more details about the film which promises to offer an immersive experience, and as always, stay tuned at Collider for timely updates.
