Dramatic thriller Them That Follow already boasts the talents of Olivia Colman, Alice Englert and Thomas Mann, but it was missing its key central role. That's no longer the case, as Django Unchained's Walton Goggins is now part of the ensemble.

He's on to play Lemuel Childs, a charismatic, stubborn preacher, who lives deep in the wilds of Appalachia. Believing that the best way to prove oneself to God is to handle lethally poisonous snakes, he finds that way of life is changing and constantly being challenged. When the wider world turns against his tradition, he also faces the possible loss of his daughter Mara (Englert) and has to try to stop his community from splintering.

Brittany Poulton and Daniel Savage wrote the script and will kick off directing the movie next month in Ohio. As for Goggins, he'll be seen in Maze Runner: The Death Cure (due 9 February) the new Tomb Raider (out 16 March), Ant-Man And The Wasp (29 June).
