Kyle Gallner (Smile, Scream) will reunite with Strange Darling filmmaker JT Mollner on Skeletons, Deadline reports.
The genre favorite joins Brie Larson (Kong: Skull Island) in the “modern take on the creature horror film” from producer J.J. Abrams.
Skeletons “is told from the perspective of a young boy who slowly begins to discover that his beloved parents are hiding a disturbing secret about his mother’s true nature.”
Mollner will direct from a script by Brian Duffield (Love and Monsters, No One Will Save You), based on the short story Fail-Safe by Philip Fracassi.
From Bad Robot, Infrared, and Assemble Media, the film is produced by Abrams, Drew Simon, Jon Cohen, and Jack Heller. Executive producers include Larson, Duffield, Fracassi, and Caitlin de Lisser-Ellen.
Sony Pictures acquired the worldwide rights to Skeletons out of this year’s European Film Market in a deal landing in the $25 million range.
Gallner can next be seen opposite Samara Weaving in the romantic thriller Carolina Caroline, in theaters June 5. His other upcoming genre projects include Man Vs., which he also wrote, and Inground.
