Dec. 19—The supernatural thriller Killing Faith will start filming in January at a local Western set and other locations around Santa Fe County, the Santa Fe Film Office reported Monday.

Tim Roth (Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction) was set to star as well but had to withdraw just a few days ago, said Jennifer LaBar-Tapia, the city's film commissioner.
Killing Faith follows a doctor (Pearce) escorting a mother (Wise) and her daughter, who is believed to be possessed, across the 1859 desert in search of a faith healer to cure her.
Killing Faith is written and directed by Ned Crowley, who directed the 2016 release Middle Man.
The New Mexico Film Office reported the production will employ 60 New Mexico crew members, five local principal actors and about 45 local background actors.
The state agency also reported the New Mexico-based production company Triple Seven Pictures, which relocated from New York, is providing locations and production services.
The film is produced by Ellen Wander and Jordan Dykstra of Film Bridge International in partnership with Summer Crockett-Moore and Tony Glazer of Choice Films, entertainment publication Deadline reported.
Zori Davidkova and Wes Hager are the producers for Choice Films while on location in Santa Fe.
