According to a report by Variety, the Korean actress will headline the film alongside Theo James and Kim Jee-won.

The Hole tells the story of Owen (James), a professor living in South Korea. After a car accident leaves him bedridden and his wife, Sandy (Ho-yeon), dead, Owen is cared for by his Korean mother-in-law, Yuna. As Yuna starts to uncover disturbing truths about Owen and his marriage, his recovery faces new and unsettling challenges.

The movie is based on Hye-young Pyun’s Shirley Jackson Award-winning novel with a script written by Christopher Chen.
