The Russo brothers’ (directors of Avengers: Infinity War and Captain America: The Winter Soldier) AGBO is to finance and handle international sales on Relic, a horror drama with Emily Mortimer (Shutter Island) set to start shooting in Victoria, Australia next week, reports ScreenDaily.
The film is about three generations of women who are haunted by a manifestation of aged dementia that takes over their family home.
Natalie Erika James, who won the Australian Writers Guild’s Awgie Award for her 2017 short Creswick, makes her feature debut. Robyn Nevin and Bella Heathcote are co-starring.
James and Christian White wrote the script.
The feature is being produced by Anna McLeish and Sarah Shaw of Melbourne’s Carver Films and Jake Gyllenhaal and Riva Marker of New York-based Nine Stories.
Anthony Russo, Joe Russo and Mike Larocca are executive producers and AGBO is financing with Screen Australia and Film Victoria. Australian distribution will be handled by Umbrella Entertainment.
