Hyena Horror Film Sets Kiernan Shipka and D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai
The Hyena horror film has set Kiernan Shipka and D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai as its leads, with Edgar Ramírez and Rosemarie DeWitt joining the cast. Scott Coffey will direct from a screenplay he co-wrote with Blair Mastbaum.
The Hyena horror film prepares for production
Screen Daily reports that filming is planned for the first quarter of 2027 in Spokane, Washington. The announced schedule gives the project a clear production window while WME Independent and Upgrade Productions handle sales.
Story details remain limited, and the production has not released character descriptions. The talent package nevertheless points toward a performance-driven psychological horror film rather than a effects-first creature feature.
David Lynch joins as executive producer
David Lynch is attached as an executive producer, giving Hyena a direct connection to one of surreal horror’s most influential filmmakers. His role should not be confused with directing or writing the film; Coffey and Mastbaum remain the principal creative team announced for the project.
A distributor and release date have not been announced. Casting and the early 2027 shoot are the major confirmed steps as the project moves toward production.
