“In a large apartment high above the city, lives our couple. They’re in love. She’s a painter, he’s a successful actor. Just a normal afternoon – except that this isn’t a normal afternoon, for them or anyone else. Because tomorrow, at 4:44 am, give or take a few seconds, the world will come to an end far more rapidly than even the worst doomsayer could have imagined. The final meltdown will come not without warnings, but with no means of escape. There will be no survivors. As always, there are those who, as their last cigarette is being lit and the blindfold tightened, will still hope against hope for some kind of reprieve. For a miracle. Not our two lovers. They – like the majority of the Earth’s population – have accepted their fate: The world is going to end.”
“Dexter” and “Fear the Walking Dead” actor Keith Carradine is the latest to join creature feature Skeletons, Deadline reports today.
He joins Brie Larson (Kong: Skull Island) in the “modern take on the creature horror film” from producer J.J. Abrams.
Skeletons is “told from the perspective of a young boy who slowly begins to discover that his beloved parents are hiding a disturbing secret about his mother’s true nature.”
JT Mollner (Strange Darling) directs the creature feature, revising the initial script by Brian Duffield (Whalefall, No One Will Save You), based on the short story “Fail-Safe“ by Philip Fracassi.
Kyle Gallner, John Goodman, Ione Skye, and Daithí Ó Haragáin also star.
The film hails from Infrared, Bad Robot Productions, and Assemble Media.
“I’m beyond excited to see Brie take on this role – it’s frightening, emotionally charged, and so different from anything she’s done before,” added Infrared President of Production Drew Simon. “The depth and intensity this character demands is immense, and I know Brie’s going to bring something unforgettable to the screen.”
Mollner is keeping very busy in horror lately. Also on the way from the filmmaker is Stephen King adaptation The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon and a Texas Chainsaw Massacre series for A24.
