Ann Dowd, who horror fans would remember from Ari Aster’s Hereditary, will star in The Undertaker’s Children, a new thriller that is currently in pre-production as it heads into the Cannes Film Market, Variety reports.
Dowd stars as a secretive undertaker forced to take in two orphans. When her sinister plan for getting rid of the kids in her care is revealed, the children plan a daring escape and find themselves facing evil forces.
The Undertaker’s Children will be helmed by Alex Gayner, making his directorial debut. Gayner has served as a second unit director on films including Hotel Artemis, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows and the Nicolas Winding Refn series “Too Old To Die Young.”
The project will be produced by Gayner, as well as Chayah Masters and Caddy Vanasirikul of The Exchange. Natasha LePetit wrote the original script.
