The Harvester is set up to go for filming in late 2019 or early 2020. The MMA star did speak with reporters a bit about his upcoming role, and his enthusiasm for getting involved in the movie industry.
“As a fan of film and horror culture, I was ecstatic to be able to be a part of a project such as this. After reviewing Steve McGinnis body of work and learning of his strong cult-like following, I look forward to bringing his character to life. I promise not to let any of his fans down!”
CEO of Horror Equity Fund, INC., Marlon Schulman, also addressed journalists at Horror News about the upcoming horror flick. He remarked that the search for someone of a particular size and appearance is one of the reasons Mowry was matched for the part.
“We were searching for the right combination of intimidation and innocence. The 6’8? Mowry has the size matched with youth, and a Pennsylvania clean-cut look that is perfect.”
Steve Mowry’s last fight was on April 6, 2018, in the Titan Fighting Championship (TFC), which has its headquarters in Florida. TFC is owned by Titan Entertainment. Mowry is considered a heavyweight in the mixed martial arts fighting ranks.
