Almost Famous and Gone Girl actor,
Patrick Fugit has been cast to lead Robert Kirkman and Paul Azaceta's upcoming Outcast
series, which will air on Cinemax. Fugit will play Kyle Barnes, a young man who
has been possessed by a demon since he was a child.
Also joining the upcoming show is
Kingdom of Heaven's Philip Glenister and Gabriel Bateman. Glenister is set to
play the hard drinking, and hard gambling Reverend Anderson, while Bateman will
play a younger version of Barnes (Fugit's character).
The Guest and You're Next director,
Adam Wingard is set to helm the pilot.
Kirkman began working on the script
for the pilot, before the first issue of the comic was even published, which
shows his level of confidence, or does it?
“Despite
the success of ‘The Walking Dead,’ ‘Outcast’ is only my second foray into the
horror genre,” Kirkman said in a previous interview.
“I
think Kyle Barnes is every bit as compelling as Rick Grimes and demonic
possession is way scarier than zombies – so this is going to be fun.”
