Jennifer Lawrence and Max Thieriot Step into Tonderai’s ‘House at the End of the Street’

House at the End of the Street is looking to be a definite 2011 release. Moving at an almost breakneck speed, after adding Mark Tonderai earlier in the year for the director’s seat, according to THR, the production have managed to lasso raising stars Jennifer Lawrence and Max Thieriot for the lead roles. Production would begin mid July-ish in Ottawa, Canada.

Dubbed as a newer version of Hitch’s Psycho, this centers on a teen girl (Lawrence) who moves with her mom to a new town and learns that their home is across the street from a house where a double murder took place. Complications ensue when the teen befriends the massacre’s sole surviving son (Thieriot). If all goes as according to plan, next week should be Lawrence’s big breakout moment with the release of Winter’s Bone. 

Aaron Ryder’s FilmNation (company is handling sales for Pedro Almodóvar’s The Skin I Live In and Terrence Malick’s next) and A Bigger Boat’s Peter Block are producing with Tim Williams, Hal Lieberman and Jonathan Mostow. Mostow has been on board this project for a while now, he wrote the story and then passed on the reins to David Loucka (Dream House) who put it in a screenplay format.
