Daniel Zolghadri in Talks to Star in ‘The Temple’ — A Sci-Fi Horror Thriller About a Millionaire’s Quest for Ghosts

Daniel Zolghadri is best known for his roles in independent films and television. He started gaining attention for his role in the movie ‘Eighth Grade’ (2018) and later starred in ‘Funny Pages’ (2022), where he played a quirky aspiring cartoonist.

For our readers, however, the actor is recognizable for his role in ‘American Horror Story,’ and Prime Video’s ‘Tales from the Loop.’

Now according to Deadline, the actor will star in a new horror movie with an interesting premise. Zolghadri is apparently negotiating for the lead role in The Temple, a sci-fi horror movie by Canadian writer-director team Yonah Lewis and Calvin Thomas.

Not much is known about the movie but the basic premise: In the indie gearing up for a shoot up north, an orphaned millionaire (Zolghadri) dedicates his life and considerable fortune to finding the ghosts of his parents with the help of a skeptical radiation scientist.

Katie Bird Nolan and Lindsay Tapscott will produce the film through their company, Babe Nation Films, along with the writer-director duo’s company, Lisa Pictures.

Before the end of the year, fans will have the opportunity to watch Zolghadri in A24’s ‘Y2K.’ The film presents a wild take on the Y2K bug: as two misfit friends crash a New Year’s Eve 1999 party, the bug causes all technology to come alive and attack humanity. The movie releases on December 6, 2024.
