The TIFF premiere is headed for theaters this year.
Deadline reports that Falling Forward Films has picked up QUEEN OF BONES for 2024 release. Directed by Robert Burdreau from a script by Michael Burgner, it stars Julia Butters (ONCE UPON A TIME…IN HOLLYWOOD), Jacob Tremblay (BEFORE I WAKE, DOCTOR SLEEP), Martin Freeman (GHOST STORIES) and Taylor Schilling. Deadline describes the story thusly: “The film tells the story of twin siblings Lily (Butters) and Sam (Tremblay), who live at a remote homestead with their widowed father, Malcolm (Freeman), a violinmaker in 1931 Oregon. When Lily and Sam find a spell book in the cellar, they begin to suspect a connection between their mother’s death and dark forces in the woods. They then embark on a dangerous mission to force their father and his friend, Ida May (Schilling), to reveal the truth.”
Says Falling Forward founder/CEO Scott Kennedy, “QUEEN OF BONES is a remarkably elevated genre story that can play really big, which is why we believe it deserves, and will have, a wide theatrical release later this year. We were captivated with this film, which is so distinguished in its own voice, after its world premiere in Toronto and were relentless to get it on the Falling Forward slate. We’re honored to be a part of the film’s journey to captivating audiences in theaters across the nation.”
