‘Bones and All’ Featurette Introduces Taylor Russell’s Maren

Published

on

A brand new featurette for cannibal love story Bones and All wants you to meet Maren (Taylor Russell), the eighteen-year-old at the center of this horror romance.

Suspiria director Luca Guadagnino and writer David Kajganich reteam for the new genre film, an adaptation of Camille DeAngelis‘s novel. This time they take on an achingly tender and thoughtful coming-of-age romance between a pair of cannibals with an insatiable need to devour flesh. 

Bones and All has been acquired for worldwide release by the Amazon-owned MGM, and the film is in select theaters now, and will open wide on November 23, 2022.

Check out the featurette below for a behind-the-scenes overview of Maren, the sweet cannibal who can’t resist the alluring smell of human flesh.

The film “is a story of first love between Maren, a young woman learning how to survive on the margins of society, and Lee, an intense and disenfranchised drifter; a liberating road odyssey of two young people coming into their own, searching for identity and chasing beauty in a perilous world that cannot abide who they are.”

The cast for the movie adaptation also stars Timothée ChalametMark Rylance, André Holland, Jessica Harper, Michael Stuhlbarg, David Gordon-Green, Jake Horowitz, Francesca Scorsese and Chloë Sevigny. Music is by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross.

Expect this tender yet macabre love story to devour your heart. From my review of the film out of Fantastic Fest: “Bones and All makes for a sumptuous and sensual feast. There’s a matter-of-factness to the gore, and cannibalism will likely repulse mainstream or unsuspecting audiences. But beneath the viscera and grue is a tender and affecting tale of first love and discovery. It’s as elegant as carnal and carnivorous, and it’ll take a bite out of your heart if you let it.”

Guadagnino and Chalamet previously worked together on Call Me By Your Name.

In addition to Leigh Whannell’s upcoming Universal Monsters movie Wolf Man, Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel) has also joined the cast of Weapons, THR has announced tonight.

Weapons is the new horror movie from New Line Cinema and director Zach Cregger (Barbarian), with Julia Garner joining the previously announced Josh Brolin (Dune 2).

The upcoming Weapons is from writer/director Zach Cregger, who will also produce alongside his Barbarian producing team: Roy Lee of Vertigo and J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules of BoulderLight Pictures. Vertigo’s Miri Yoon also produces.

The Hollywood Reporter teases, “Plot details for Weapons are being kept holstered but it is described as a multi and inter-related story horror epic that tonally is in the vein of Magnolia, the 1999 actor-crammed showcase from filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson.”

Cregger was a founding member and writer for the New York comedy troupe “The Whitest Kids U’Know,” which he started while attending The School of Visual Arts. The award-winning group’s self-titled sketch comedy show ran for five seasons on IFC-TV and Fuse. He was also a series regular on Jimmy Fallon’s NBC series “Guys with Kids” and the TBS hit series “Wrecked,” and was featured in a recurring role on the NBC series “About a Boy.”

Weapons will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
