EXCLUSIVE: Jonathan Rhys Meyers (The Tudors) and Ben Miles (Tetris) are set to star in The Catcha new horror film from Epic Pictures and Mermaid Films that begins production in March.
From filmmaker Jo Southwell (Call the Midwife), The Catch follows a ruthless culinary showdown as a brilliant but obsessive chef journeys to Cornwall in search of the rarest seafood of all — a mermaid. As obsession turns to madness, the chef learns that some legends are better left undiscovered.

“The Catch is a razor-sharp blend of myth and obsession, a story that reminds us that the real monsters are often human,” said Patrick Ewald, CEO of Epic Pictures and executive producer on the project. “With Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Ben Miles bringing fierce depth to their roles, and the visionary partnership of Jo Southwell and Sara Gibbings steering the project, this haunting film is destined to make waves.”
