Julia Goldani-Telles (“The Affair”) is set to co-star in Screen Gems’ Slenderman, an adaptation of the popular urban legend about a freakishly tall and faceless man with elongated arms who is the cause of many mysterious disappearances and deaths.

Goldani-Telles joins Annalise Basso (Oculus), Joey King (The Conjuring), Talitha Bateman (Annabelle: Creation), and Jaz Sinclair (When the Bough Breaks). Sylvain White, director of dance drama Stomp the Yard and stylish actioner The Losers, helms from a script co-written by Elle scribe David Birke.

Goldani-Telles made her acting debut on the ABC Family series “Bunheads” and currently stars as bratty teen Whitney Solloway on the Showtime drama “The Affair.”

Slenderman is slated for release May 18, 2018.
