Julianne Moore Is A Con Artist In ‘Sharper’, Claire Foy To Star In 1930s Horror ‘Dust’

Julianne Moore will play a con artist targeting Manhattan billionaires in Sharper. Deadline reports Moore has joined the film which marks the latest collaboration between A24 and Apple. The script is by Brian Gatewood and Alessandro Tanaka, but it could still be a ways off as there is no director just yet. Moore has another Apple project already in the works, a series adaptation of Stephen King’s novel Lisey’s Story.

The Crown star Claire Foy will headline the 1930s psychological horror, Dust. The film by co-directors Will Joines and Karrie Crouse follows a young mother in 1930s Oklahoma who is trapped by frequent dust storms. She’ll go to extreme measures to protect her family, while also being haunted by her past. Krouse, a writer on HBO’s Westworld, will also write the screenplay according to Variety.
