We learned back in October that Brahms will be back in The Boy 2, with Katie Holmes starring as the lead in the STXfilms and Lakeshore Entertainment sequel. Deadline updates on the project tonight, announcing that Christopher Convery (“Gotham,” The Girl in the Spider’s Web) will be playing the son of Holmes’ character in the film.
William Brent Bell is returning to direct and Stacey Menear returns to script.
“Unaware of the terrifying history of Heelshire Mansion, a young family moves into the estate, where their young son soon makes an unsettling new friend, an eerily life-like doll he calls Brahms.”
Principal photography will begin in Victoria, British Columbia, on Jan. 14.
The Boy 2 will be produced by Lakeshore’s Tom Rosenberg, Gary Lucchesi and Eric Reid, as well as Matt Berenson, Jim Wedaa and Roy Lee.
