02/15 Rock Legend Debbie Harry Joins "I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House":

Press Release: Legendary rock & roll icon and Golden Globe Nominee Debbie Harry (Hairspray) will co-star in Osgood Perkins’ I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House, joining Golden Globe Winner Ruth Wilson (“The Affair,” Saving Mr. Banks), Academy Award Nominee Bob Balaban (The Grand Budapest Hotel, Moonrise Kingdom), and recent Sundance breakout Lucy Boynton (Sing Street, February).


Netflix will be the exclusive streaming home of the thriller, which Perkins wrote and will be directing. Principal photography is set to begin in Ottawa on February 16th.

I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House follows Lily (Wilson), a young nurse hired to care for elderly Iris Blum (Harry), a reclusive best-selling author of horror and crime stories who has chosen to live out her final days in her beloved 19th century farmhouse in Massachusetts – a home that holds a horrific ghost story of its own that inspired her most famous book.

Rob Paris’ Paris Film, Inc., is producing and co-financing I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House through the recently announced venture with Robert Menzies’s Ottawa-based production shingle Zed Filmworks and Canadian real estate developer Alphonse Ghossein’s Go Insane Films. Paris and Menzies are producing, and Ghossein is executive producing.
