Yesterday, Deadline announced that Riley Keough will be joining Dakota Johnson to star in a limited television series based on an upcoming memoir of a woman who escaped the “Children of God” cult.
Johnson will play the Children of God escapee who will team up with her friend, played by Keough, to “investigate and document contemporary cults existing in America today.”
Oh, where do we start.
For the last few years you’ve no doubt seen media outlets wonder how Elisabeth Moss, who grew up in Scientology, could play Offred in The Handmaid’s Tale with a straight face. Having grown up in a totalitarian organization known for forcing young women into abortions and exerting extreme control over its members with psychological indoctrination, Moss’s Emmy-winning turn in the Hulu series based on Margaret Atwood’s dystopian novel about extreme patriarchy must have required some serious cognitive dissonance on Moss’s part.
