Production has begun on director Mark Hartley’s (Machete Maidens Unleashed) remake of Richard Franklin’s (Psycho 2, Cloak & Dagger) 1978 Australian frightener Patrick, starring Sharni Vinson (You’re Next), Rachel Griffiths (“Six Feet Under”) and Charles Dance (“Game of Thrones”).

Patrick is the story of a man who falls into a comatose state after murdering his mother and her lover three years prior. When a beautiful nurse (Vinson) is assigned to his care, he uses psychokinetic powers to communicate with her and to destroy those who get in the way of his new found obsession.

Vinson (pictured above) is coming off Anchor Bay’s killer shark flick Bait 3-D and will next be seen in Lionsgate’s violent home-invasion thriller You’re Next, directed by Adam Wingard’s (A Horrible Place to Die).
