A real-life story about a supposedly cursed painting has inspired an upcoming U.K. feature that has recently wrapped filming in the British seaside town of Hastings.

“Curse in a Frame” — from New State Pictures and the feature debut of writer-director Maria Pawlikowska — is being led by Susan Wokoma, best known for “Enola Holmes” and soon starring in Greta Gerwig’s upcoming “Narnia,” Jessie Cave, who famously played Lavender Brown in the “Harry Potter” franchise (and marking her return to film for the first time in almost a decade), and newcomer Velvet Brown (“Troubleshooting”). Kaja Chan (“Split Fiction”) Michael Kinsey (“Three Day Millionaire”) and Michael Brandon (“Dempsey and Makepeace”) also star.
