The film is adapted from the novella of the same name by Stephen King – found in last year’s collection If It Bleeds – and is spearheaded by American Horror Story mastermind Ryan Murphy.

Meanwhile, in the world of the Hunger Games, Viola Davis has joined the cast of The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes.

The ever iconic actress will play the role of villain Dr. Volumnia Gaul.

“The Hunger Games films have always been elevated by their exceptional casting, and we are thrilled to be continuing that tradition with Viola Davis as Volumnia Gaul,” said Lionsgate motion picture group president Nathan Kahane.

“Her formidable and powerful presence will add layers of complexity and menace to this story.”

“Dr Gaul is as cruel as she is creative and as fearsome as she is formidable. Snow’s savvy as a political operator develops in no small part due to his experiences with her as the games’ most commanding figure,” he said of her character.

Mr Harrigan’s Phone is slated to premiere on Netflix in 2022.
