Larissa and April to star in Tormented together

Two teen stars of Skins are set to appear in a spooky new film.

Larissa Wilson, who plays Lal in the hit series, and April Pearson, who plays Michelle, have been picked to star in forthcoming film Tormented.

Shooting has started on the film, which is set in a suburban grammar school, but the premise is a world away from the decadent setting of Skins.

The Birmingham-set film stars Alex Pettyfer, known for his role as Alex Rider in Stormbreaker, as a bullied teenager who comes back from the dead to take his revenge on his tormentors.

As the bullies settle into a charmed existence in their school sixth form, they are confronted by their victim, who comes back from suicide to get his own back by tormenting them.

Tormented is directed by experienced short film director Jon Wright and is written by Stephen Prentice.

It is being funded by BBC Films, Screen West Midlands and Slingshot, and will be distributed by Pathe.

Thought perhaps you should know that Alex Pettyfer is not playing the bullied teenager who comes back from the dead, but rather of of the bullies. The bullied teen is played by Calvin Dean.
