Walking Dead actress forced to Pay the Ghost

Sarah Wayne Callies

Former “Walking Dead” star Sarah Wayne Callies will join Nicolas Cage in new spite tale “Pay the Ghost”, according to Deadline.

Cage will star as a professor (any premise that starts with that is worth paying attention to) whose young son goes missing during a Halloween parade in New York City. One year later he begins to sense his son’s presence and uncovers clues leading to a vicious and vengeful ghost that surfaces each Halloween to abduct children. Callies will play Kristen, Cage’s estranged wife and a whip smart environmental attorney who teams up with her husband to recover their son before he’s lost to the spirit world forever.

After his terrific turn in “Joe”, you’d think Cage’s fare might improve from here on out – – doesn’t sound like it.
