Pullman, DuVall & Mapother Join 'The Grudge'


Bill Pullman, Clea DuVall and William Mapother are all joining director Takashi Shimizu's The Grudge, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

The movie centers on a curse that befalls someone who dies in the grip of a powerful rage. Those who encounter this murderous supernatural curse die, and a new one is born -- passed like a virus from victim to victim. DuVall and Mapother play a husband and wife living in Tokyo who unwittingly encounter the violent curse of their home's previous owner. Pullman plays an English professor.

Sarah Michelle Gellar, Jason Behr and KaDee Strickland have already signed on for the project, which begins shooting in Tokyo later this month.
