The creepy doll Brahms will be back in The Boy 2, with Katie Holmes starring as the lead in the STXfilms and Lakeshore Entertainment sequel. Deadline updates today that The Witch star Ralph Ineson has just joined the cast, along with Owain Yeoman (The Belko Experiment).
Yeoman will play Sean, the husband to Holmes’ Liza. Ineson has been cast in the role of Joseph. Christopher Convery co-stars as their son Jude.
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.
