Melissa McCarthy and Connor Storrie are reportedly attached to a new thriller titled Turpentine, though details about the project remain limited.

The film is described as a dark, character-driven thriller, with early information suggesting a tense family dynamic at the centre of the story.

While a full plot synopsis has not been officially confirmed, reports indicate the story may follow a troubled relationship between a mother and son, unfolding in a high-stakes and psychologically intense setting.

The project has not yet announced a release date, production timeline or full cast, and it remains unclear how far along it is in development.

For McCarthy, the role would mark a continuation of her recent shift into more dramatic and genre-driven projects beyond comedy. Meanwhile, Storrie, who gained attention through Heated Rivalry, continues to attract new film opportunities following his breakout success.

As of now, Turpentine remains in the early stages, with more concrete details expected as the project develops.
