Lucy Hale to Star in Movie "White Mars"

Lucy Hale (Pretty Little Liars, Scream 4) has signed on to star in the sci-fi-thriller "White Mars".

Set in an isolated Aquila Research Facility in Antarctica, "White Mars" follows microbiologist Sammie (Hale), as she fights to save her fellow crew members from a malevolent entity whose sole intention is to extinguish them all.

Martin Owen (Above The Below) is directing from a script by Matt Mitchell, Vicki Sargent, and Roo Berry. 

"White Mars" is set to start principal photography on November 11 at Cinecittà Studios in Rome and will be shot entirely in a virtual production environment.

Future Artists Entertainment’s Matt Williams will produce alongside Neil Jones with Steve Griffith and Steve Jelley from Singularity Entertainment. 

XYZ Films is co-financing — in conjunction with IPR.VC — with Singularity, and is handling worldwide sales at this week’s American Film Market.

"White Mars" is the first feature to be announced for Singularity, an entertainment company “specializing in virtual production and streamlined processes for independent films”.

Pretty Little Liars actress Hale most recently starred in Hulu’s #1 hit movie "Which Brings Me To You" and the romantic comedy "Puppy Love". 

She is also known for her roles in "The Hating Game" based on the hit novel and the AMC crime series, "Ragdoll" as well as horror movies"Truth Or Dare" and "Scream 4".
