Lauren Cohan, our beloved Maggie Green on AMC’s “The Walking Dead,” makes her feature film debut as leading lady in Lakeshore Entertainment and Vertigo Entertainment’s new frightener The Boy. Cohan will play a nanny looking after a lifelike doll resembling the deceased son of a mourning couple.

According to THR, Cohan’s character is not only creeped out by the doll, but feels it is possessed by the dead boy’s malevolent spirit. Production on the film begins in March in British Colombia. William Brent Bell (The Devil Inside) is directing.

Cohan joined “The Walking Dead” during season two and remains one of its most popular stars. Horror fans first caught a glimpse of the sexy stunner on NBC’s “Chuck,” The CW series “Supernatural” and “The Vampire Diaries,” and Universal’s “Death Race 2: Frankenstein Lives.”
