NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) - "Lost" actor Dominic Monaghan and "Hellboy" superhero Ron Perlman are set to star in "I Sell the Dead," an indie horror film about 18th-century corpse traders.
Monaghan and Larry Fessenden ("Broken Flowers") will play gravediggers who perform services for an aristocratic doctor.
Perlman is in final negotiations to play a mysterious priest who takes confession from Monaghan's character. Angus Scrimm, who played the evil "Tall Man" in the "Phantasm" horror film series, is in final talks to play the doctor.
Production on the indie film from rookie writer-director Glenn McQuaid will begin in May in New York, scheduled between the end of Monaghan's "Lost" shooting schedule for ABC and the beginning of Perlman's "Hellboy 2: The Golden Army" shoot.
