Filmmaker Landon Williams has found his cast for the indie feature Black Nightshade.
The film, described in a press release as “a supernatural, psychological noir thriller,” is currently in production in Los Angeles with a cast that includes Jason Patric (Narc), Lou Ferrigno Jr. (SWAT), Dina Meyer (Starship Troopers), Kenzie Dalton (Feud), B.J.

Parker (Forgotten Abduction) and Nick Sarando (Seal the Deal).
Per the logline, Detective Ben Hays (Ferrigno) experiences a series of disturbing dreams while on the hunt for a serial killer. The haunting nightmares lead him to hypnotherapy and a psychiatrist (Meyer). The treatment reveals undeniable parallels between his nightmares and the murders, setting him into a tailspin of paranoia and distrust. Patric is said to open the film in a role that is being kept under wraps.

Carlos Sanchez, Williams and Smith-Williams are serving as producers, alongside Ferrigno, Gallagher and Casey Krehbiel. Nina Hamamura and Eric Kind of Brave Artists are executive producing.
