In Crush, Sarah Catherine Hook stars as a hiker plunged into a desperate struggle for survival after being trapped by a giant python. The project marks a significant milestone for Hook, moving her from prominent ensemble television roles into the central, top-billed lead role of a major Hollywood studio release.
Filming for the upcoming 20th Century Studios feature is set to commence production in Australia, signaling an exciting international shoot for the rising star.
From Montgomery Academy to Hollywood’s big screen
Before stepping onto global streaming platforms and major movie sets, Sarah Catherine Hook was honing her craft right here in the capital city. A graduate of The Montgomery Academy, Hook’s early passion for performance blossomed during her high school years in Alabama before she headed off to New York to earn her degree in vocal performance.
Her journey from local stage productions to leading a 20th Century Studios survival thriller serves as a proud moment for Montgomery and the entire River Region arts community. It’s a huge win for Montgomery’s arts scene and local moviegoers have plenty of reason to pull for her when Crush hits theaters.
