14th March, Mumbai: Actor Kit Connor has been recruited to the cast of the horror film One Of Us, switching from the romance to the horror genre. An upset family mourning a loved one at a funeral will be the focus of the allegorical film. The tragedy is still not ended, however, as one by one, each member of the family continues to meet an unexpected death, leaving Connor’s character to pick up the pieces and unravel the mystery before the entire family is wiped out.
Charlotte Hope (The Spanish Princess), Callum Woodhouse (The Durrells), Ian Beattie (Game of Thrones), and Siobhan Fallon-Hogan will appear in the project alongside Connor (Rushed). Stefan van de Graaff, who also wrote the screenplay and directed the movie, will make his debut with it.
Since Connor, an Emmy winner, has always played roles that are lighter and less gory, his involvement in One Of Us will be a significant shift from the projects fans are used to seeing him in. The role of Nick Nelson, a jock who falls in love with his classmate Charlie, is played by Connor, who is best known for his work in the graphic novel turned Netflix series Heartstopper (Joe Locke). For the community members yearning for a story of gay happiness, Heartstopper has been a breath of new air. The highly anticipated second season is still in the process of filming.
In addition to his work on Heartstopper, Connor was Pantalaimon’s voice actor for the just concluded third season of HBO’s fantasy drama His Dark Materials. He also played a younger Reggie Dwight, the vocalist of “Bennie and the Jets,” in the Elton John biographical drama Rocketman. It was announced back in August that Connor had joined the cast of A Cuban Girl’s Guide to Tea and Tomorrow, Katherine Fairfax’s maiden narrative feature directorial effort. Connor will feature with Maia Reficco and Kate del Castillo in the film adaptation of the same-titled, #1 New York Times bestselling book by Laura Taylor Namey.
