Dark Harvest is an upcoming Halloween horror movie that will be adapted from the novel written by Norman Partridge in 2006. MGM will be producing the project, which will star Casey Likes and E’myri Crutchfield. Dark Harvest is set in between the years 1962 and 1963. It tells the story of a strange ritual that occurs yearly on Halloween in a rural Midwestern town.
This ritual is called The Run – during this, the teenage boys of the town chase a monster known as Sawtooth Jack. Many young boys die, but according to the description of the story – the prize is worth it. Whoever kills the monster will win a new car and a house for his loved ones.
According to The Illuminerdi, Vikings’ Travis Fimmel is being looked at for the role of Officer Jerry Ricks. Described as a bad cop disguised as a good cop, Ricks is a “bully with a badge”.
In addition, The Illuminerdi has provided more information on Likes and Crutchfield’s roles:
Richie Shepard, who will be played by Casey Likes in Dark Harvest, is described as a 16 year old who acts tougher than he truly is. Richie has the reputation of the “bad kid” as opposed to his golden boy brother and hero jock, Jim, the winner of The Run the previous year. Richie yearns to escape from the shadow of his brother and win The Run himself, but his growing relationship with Kelly, a fellow outcast, pushes him to question everything he thought he knew about his town, The Run, and his family.
Kelly Harris, who will be played by E’myri Crutchfield in Dark Harvest, is a 16-year-old orphan who lives with her aunt and works the ticket booth at the Guild Theater. Kelly longs to escape the small rural town and the inevitable dead-end existence she would fall into living there. And while girls are forbidden from participating in The Run, Kelly sees it as her only chance at escaping. Kelly partners with the town’s “bad kid”, Richie Shepard, so that she can take her chance at a one way ticket out of town, no matter the cost.
