The film will centre on the arrival of Eric Price, a San Francisco psychiatrist who is dubious about the claims that “the Winchester mystery house” is haunted.
After he arrives he is confronted with a host of ghosts and the true cost of gun violence.
The house was badly damaged in the 1906 San Francisco earthquake.
Helen Mirren will tackle ghouls and gun violence in Winchester, a thriller based on the true story of the heiress to the Winchester weapons fortune, who fast-tracked the construction of a mansion because she believed it would hold off the spirits of the victims of the family business, according to Deadline.
