Trio go "Haunting" with Madsen

Three actors have joined Virginia Madsen in the horror film "The Haunting in Connecticut," which began shooting this week in Winnipeg.

The Lionsgate project is based on one family's experience with supernatural forces after settling into a new home.

Martin Donovan will play Madsen's husband, and Kyle Gallner their cancer-ridden son, who becomes aware of the paranormal activity present around him. Elias Koteas will play a priest and fellow cancer patient to whom Madsen's character turns for help. Peter Cornwell directs.

Gallner has appeared on FX's "The Shield" and HBO's "Big Love," and Donovan in Showtime's "Weeds." Koteas recently completed work on David Fincher's "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button."
