The Crown star Claire Foy has nabbed the lead in psychological horror film Dust.
Will Joines and Westworld writer Karrie Crouse will direct from a script that Crouse wrote. The script was developed at the Sundance Writer’s Lab.

Mad River International is handling international sales and will introduce the project at the virtual Cannes market.
