Octavia Spencer is taking a break from her typical Oscar-nominated, historical period fare to try her hand at a psychological horror/thriller, in the shape of Blumhouse Productions? "Ma." The project will also reunite Spencer with her "The Help" and "Get On Up" director, Tate Taylor. Taylor shared that he and Spencer have been frustrated over the lack of variety in the projects that have been coming their way of late. Friends since before they made it big in Hollywood, Taylor realizes this is unusual territory for Spencer, but he assures fans that the Oscar-winner is more than capable of handling the ?dark? but ?fun? material. This will also mark Taylor?s introduction to the genre, as he has not directed a horror film before.
