Nicholas Denton (courtesy of Victoria Stevens), Hugh Bonneville and Tim Downie (both courtesy of CrossBorder Films) Nicholas Denton (“Talamasca: The Secret Order,” “Dangerous Liaisons”) is attached to portray cult British horror filmmaker Michael Reeves opposite Tim Downie (“Baldur’s Gate 3,” “Outlander”) as Hollywood horror legend Vincent Price in “Tragedy Man: The Making of Michael Reeves.” Hugh Bonneville (“Downton Abbey,” “Paddington”) joins as British producer and distributor Tony Tenser.
The elevated folk horror feature explores the turbulent relationship between Reeves and Price during the making of “Witchfinder General,” a collaboration that would produce one of Price’s most acclaimed performances and Reeves’ final film before his death at just 25.
