Starlet and Runaways star Stella Maeve is set to play the female lead in Dark Summer, a supernatural thriller from Grace director Paul Solet and screenwriter Mike Le. Production on the Preferred Film & TV project begins this fall.

Synopsis reads:

A highly stylized modern ghost story, Dark Summer follows Daniel Williamson, a 17-year-old on house arrest for the summer. With his mother away on business, a horrifying incident occurs, followed by an even more terrifying presence in the house.

Maeve is coming off the cancelled CBS cop show “Golden Boy” and a star-making turn as a hothead porn star in Sean Baker’s indie drama Starlet. Horror creds include the MTV teen-slasher My Super Psycho Sweet 16: Part 2, the sci-fi thriller Cloned: The Recreator Chronicles and the upcoming Charles Manson followers biopic Manson Girls.

Maeve is best known, however, for her portrayal of drummer Sandy West in the 2010 film The Runaways.
