International sales agency REinvent has boarded horror creature feature “Bone Keeper,” starring John Rhys-Davies, who is best known for portraying Gimli in “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy and Sallah in the “Indiana Jones” franchise. A promo will be shown to buyers in Cannes.
The film is directed and produced by Howard J. Ford for Latitude Films. The cast also features Sarah Alexandra Marks, Louis James and Tiffany Hannam-Daniels. It is expected to be delivered in the fall this year.
“Bone Keeper” follows six young friends, who enter a remote cave system to investigate the disappearance of several missing persons, only to find themselves being gradually hunted by a mysterious creature that may have inhabited the cave for thousands of years.
The mystery started with a fireball crashing into a remote woodland, awakening a terrifying creature hidden in the depths. Fast forward to 1976, James Wheeler enters a cave determined to uncover the truth – and is never seen again. All that’s found is a single frame of Super 8 film, capturing the silhouette of a creature.
In the present day, Wheeler’s granddaughter, along with five explorers, sets out to investigate the legend of the “Bone Keeper.” But as they venture deeper, they realize they are being hunted and the line between hunter and prey begins to blur. Will they uncover the truth and escape the creature – or become the next missing souls?
Ford said: “I’ve always been intrigued with caves and caverns and imagined if something lurked down there in the depths, so I am very excited to be making a creature-feature and reuniting with the REinvent team and not least working with the legendary Mr. John Rhys-Davies, who has been an absolute blast.”
The film’s VFX supervisor is Giordano Aita.
