Ella Purnell, who stars on Prime Video’s Fallout and is coming back for its upcoming Season 2, is also lined up to star in a comedy-horror about killer squirrels. Screen Daily reports that Purnell will star in The Scurry, which is currently filming in the United Kingdom. The movie tells the story of a park attendant, Purnell, who uses her skills to survive against a wave of killer squirrels.
True Brit Entertainment is co-producing and distributing the movie in the UK. Purnell joins a cast that also includes Rhys Ifans (Harry Potter, House of the Dragon). Olivia Cooke, another star of House of the Dragon, recently had to drop out due to scheduling conflicts. Some reports online suggest Purnell is replacing Cooke. The movie also stars Antonia Thomas and Paapa Essiedu.
One of the producers, James Scott, said, “Fallout is the biggest show on the planet right now, so to have the lead actress join our squirrel movie is incredibly exciting for the production team and our worldwide distribution partners.”
