The Hollywood Reporter says two-time Oscar winner Hilary Swank is in final talks to star in Dark Castle Entertainment's latest horror entry, The Reaping, for Warner Bros. Pictures. Dark Castle is run by Joel Silver and Robert Zemeckis.

The supernatural tale centers on a myth debunker (Swank) who travels to a small, religious town in Texas to investigate occurrences that appear to be the 10 Biblical plagues.

James Cox is directing the script, which is based on a spec by Brian Rousso that has been rewritten by Chad and Carey Hayes. The Hayes brothers wrote the upcoming Dark Castle remake of House of Wax.

Dark Castle's past horror movies include House on Haunted Hill, Thirteen Ghosts, Ghost Ship and Gothika.

Sounds interesting. Hopefully, Dark Castle can keep putting out some original horror as well as the remakes they're known for already...

I watched this two night ago and I enjoyed it. I wonder if they used CGI to make Swank actually look hot in this movie?

It's weird that she goes from hottie to boy look about as fast as I flip a light switch.
