Two-time Oscar winner Hilary Swank is in final negotiations to star in Dark Castle Entertainment's latest horror entry, "The Reaping".

Produced by Warner Brothers, "The Reaping" is a supernatural tale centering on a myth debunker (Swank) who travels to a small, religious town in Texas to investigate occurrences that appear to be the 10 Biblical plagues.

James Cox is directing the script based on a story by Brian Rousso.
