Dave Annable & Jennifer Holland Join ‘Brine’ Thriller From B.J. Golnick

EXCLUSIVE: Dave Annable (Lioness) and Jennifer Holland (Peacemaker) have wrapped lead roles in Brine, a Civil War-era supernatural thriller from veteran documentary filmmaker B.J. Golnick.

Written by Golnick and producer Jeremy Miller, Brine follows a family of Confederate deserters who escape the Union bombardment of Fort Pulaski with a cache of stolen gold and disappear into the Georgia marshlands. When they take refuge in a remote plantation house, what first appears to be salvation slowly reveals itself as part of something ancient, predatory and impossible to escape.

The film also stars Jonah Wharton (Lioness), Sissy Sheridan (Chicken Girls) and Grayson Lay (Outer Banks).

“Brine is a story about survival, but it is also a story about inheritance…The violence we pass down, the myths we create to justify it, and the cost of trying to break free,” Golnick said. “We intend for the film to feel intimate, historically grounded and deeply unnerving, as if the supernatural elements weren’t invented, but unearthed from the marsh itself.”

Annable recently wrapped production on Season 3 of Paramount+’s Lioness, with additional credits including Brothers & Sisters, The Waterfront, Walker, Yellowstone and What/If. He is represented by UTA and manager Sue Leibman of Barking Dog Entertainment.

Holland is known for her role as Agent Emilia Harcourt in HBO Max & DC’s Peacemaker, with additional credits including The Suicide Squad and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. She is repped by CAA and Jason Shapiro of Strand Entertainment.

Golnick is a cinematographer, director, and producer whose directorial credits include series like Hunting Hitler and Buried Worlds with Don Wildman. He is represented by WME.
