Geoffrey Rush has maintained a long-running acting career - and his latest film is set to explore the horrors that can come with old age.

Rush has made a name for himself on the big screen, appearing in films like Shakespeare in Love, Pirates of the Caribbean, and The King’s Speech - to name a few.

He's set to star in Kiwi director James Ashcroft's The Rule of Jenny Pen, a film set in a drab retirement home in the North Island.

"It's about bullying, really. And I asked James - why did you write this? He said - I've got three daughters and they're all less than 12 and I've always been intrigued by the genre of thriller or mystery or horror, but I'm more concerned about consequences."
