EXCLUSIVE: Michael C. Hall (Dexter) and Grace Caroline Currey (Fall) have joined Vera Farmiga (The Conjuring), Tim Blake Nelson (Captain America: Brave New World) and Simon Rex (Red Rocket) in the true crime biopic feature The Leader, based on the 1997 mass suicide of the religious group known as Heaven’s Gate.
The project has secured an interim agreement with SAG-AFTRA. Michael Gallagher (The Thinning) is directing from his original screenplay.
Pic is produced by Cinemand Films (Funny Story) and Balcony 9 Productions (Bride Hard). The Leader will chart the memorable true story of the thirty-nine members of the UFO cult known as “Heaven’s Gate” who committed the largest mass suicide to ever take place on American soil.
The film tracks Nettles (Farmiga) and Applewhite (Nelson) as they develop the religion, build a devout following, and face unforeseen conflict when the spaceship fails to arrive.
