“Holland, Michigan” is a darkly humorous suburban thriller that stars Watts as a teacher who begins to suspect that her docile husband (Cranston) is a serial killer as she starts an affair with a co-worker (Ramirez) who has a violent past.
John Lesher and Adam Kassan will produce for Le Grisbi Productions along with Sean Murphy, who brought the project into the company. Production will start this spring.
“I’m making a dramatic feature this year with Bryan Cranston, Naomi Watts and Edgar Ramirez,” wrote Morris, the Oscar-winning documentarian behind “The Thin Blue Line” and “The Fog of War.”
