Lionsgate Intl. has closed a ton of territory deals for the psychological thriller Marrowbone, which is executively produced by J.A. Bayona (The Orphanage, A Monster Calls) and directed by Sergio G. Sanchez, who wrote The Orphanage), according to Variety.
Marrowbone follows, “…a 20-year-old who, with his three younger siblings, is plagued by a sinister presence in the manor where they live. To stay together, they have kept secret the death of their beloved mother.”
Telecinco Cinema CEO Guislan Barrois, who is a producer on the film, explains, “The protagonists of “Marrowbone” are mainly children, like in these films. For us, as Mediaset España’s CEO Paolo Vasile pointed out, “Marrowbone” is part of an important lineage. Guillermo del Toro godfathered Juan Antonio Bayona’s ‘The Orphanage,’ and now Juan Antonio is godfathering Sergio’s debut. We hope Sergio will play the same role in the future.”
No official release date has been set.
