When we first heard that Succession’s Sarah Snook would be heading up the cast of the new ‘horror thriller’ Run Rabbit Run, it’s safe to say we were pretty intrigued. And now we know about some of the other actors who will be joining Snook on screen, our interest has grown even further.

According to Variety, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood’s Damon Herriman and The Player’s Greta Scaachi will be joining the cast alongside newcomer Lily LaTorre, who will be playing a “significant role”. 

Supporting roles in the film will also be played by Storm Boy’s Trevor Jamieson, Five Bedroom’s Neil Meville, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child’s Naomi Rukavina, Newton’s Law’s Georgina Naidu, Bloom’s Genevieve Morris, The Secret Life Of Us’ Katherine Slattery and newcomer Sunny Whelan.

While we don’t have too many details about the film at the moment, we do know a little about what to expect. 

According to the film’s synopsis, Run Rabbit Run follows a fertility doctor called Sarah (Snook) who is forced to “challenge her own beliefs and confront a ghost from her past” when her young daughter Mia begins to exhibit “increasingly strange behaviour”. Sounds creepy, right? 

While we think Snook will absolutely smash this role (the fact that the character is called Sarah makes it seem like a match made in heaven), she wasn’t the first actor lined up to star.

In fact, she’s taking over the role from The Handmaid’s Tale and Invisible Man star Elisabeth Moss, who was originally set to star and produce but has had to leave the project for scheduling reasons. 

It’s not yet been confirmed whether Moss will be staying on board to produce, but the film’s IMDb page still lists her as a contributor, so it seems likely. 

According to Deadline, the film – which is about to enter pre-production before shooting starts in Victoria and South Australia – is based on an original idea by novelist Hannah Kent, who wrote the script. 

Daina Reid – who previously worked on The Handmaid’s Tale – is set to direct.

If one thing’s for sure, it’s great to see so many women working on the film both on and off-screen – and with the talents of Snook, Kent and Reid attached to the film, we’re confident that Run Rabbit Run is going to be pretty damn good. 

For now, however, we’ll just have to wait and see what happens. We’ll be updating this space with all the latest news as and when we get it, so keep your eyes peeled for any updates.
