Martin Freeman, Jacob Tremblay, Julia Butters and Taylor Schilling to Star in Horror Movie ‘Queen of Bones’

Martin Freeman, Jacob Tremblay, Julia Butters and Taylor Schilling will play the dysfunctional family at the center of folk horror film “Queen of Bones.” Production is currently underway in Canada.

Directed by Robert Budreau (“Delia’s Gone”) from a script by Michael Burgner, the film follows a widowed violin maker named Malcolm (Freeman) who lives on a remote Oregon homestead in 1931. His life is turned upside down when his twin children Lily (Butters) and Sam (Tremblay) find a spell book in their cellar which reveals that their mother’s death is connected to something that lives in the woods. The siblings decide to do whatever it takes to get their father and his friend Ida May (Schilling) to reveal the truth about what happened.

Budreau will also produce through his Lumanity Productions. Jennifer Davisson and Michael Hampton will produce on behalf of Appian Way, the production company founded by Leonard DiCaprio. William G. Santor, Doug Murray and Ryan Reaney will produce on behalf of Productivity Media.

“I am thrilled to be working with such a stellar cast to bring this amazing Depression-era folk
horror script to life,” said Budreau in a press statement.

“We are so happy to be back in business with Robert as director on another film for Productivity Media,” added Productivity Media’s Santor. “He has a great creative voice, and we are thrilled to be on this journey with him and our award-winning and collaborative partners at Appian Way.”
