Rebecca books two major gigs
05 August, 2018
Fresh off the smashing success of 'Mission: Impossible - Fallout', actress Rebecca Ferguson has booked two major gigs. Per Deadline, the White Queen star has joined the 'Men in Black' spinoff in "a key role" opposite Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson.
But when the new 'Men in Black' film became a reality, it was reported that it would be a more global story with a bigger ensemble, so Ferguson's casting is in line with that, and she joins a swell cast that also includes Kumail Nanjiani and Emma Thopmson.
F. Gary Gray ('Straight Outta Compton') is directing the film for a May 2019 release date. Additionally, Ferguson has closed a deal to play Rose the Hat in 'Doctor Sleep', which is based on Stephen King's 'The Shining' sequel novel of the same name.
Oculus filmmaker Mike Flanagan directs 'Doctor Sleep', which has Ewan McGregor in the role of the adult Danny Torrance. Rose the Hat is the head of a cult that feeds off the "steam" of young people who shine, like Danny. So Ferguson is turning villain for this one.
