Described as a psychological thriller, Deadline reports today that Joanne Mitchell (The Outing) is on board to direct Sybil, an upcoming movie that’s centered on a lonely mortician.
Rebecca Calder (Love Me Do), James Fleet (Four Weddings and a Funeral), and Sacharissa Claxton (Sandman) will star in Sybil, which was written by Dominic Brunt.
Deadline previews, “The flick is billed as a twisted tale of a lonely mortician and her macabre quest for the perfect family. The Mortician’s life can be a lonely one. But there are always opportunities for love and revenge, the synopsis reads.”
Rupert Proctor (Notting Hill), Robyn Rainsford (Letters to April), and Jay Taylor (Red Tails) will also star. Joanne Mitchell and Tracey Sheals came up with the original story.
“We have an extraordinarily talented cast and crew to bring the bizarre and macabre world of Sybil to life,” said Mitchell. “I love the psychology behind the horror genre, and Sybil is a story that will make the audience squirm in their seats. I have been wanting to make it for many years”.
Producer Holly Levow added: “We are excited to have put another film into production, giving a new team of women filmmakers an opportunity to demonstrate their craft and showcase their great work. The model we are building to bring new voices into storytelling is both practical, profitable, and socially responsible.”
