The Baby in the Basket is a Gothic horror film that paves the way for more church-based horror movies which seem to be all the rage currently!
Strive Global Media have secured the worldwide sales rights on the film and thanks to Flickering Myth who are producers on this movie we have some first-look images to share with you today.
The film stars Amber Doig-Thorne (Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey), Michaela Longden (How to Kill Monsters), Elle O’Hara (When Darkness Falls), Lisa Riesner (Charlie’s Angels) and Nathan Shepka (Lock & Load) alongside Annabelle Lanyon (Legend), Maryam d’Abo (The Living Daylights) and Paul Barber (The Full Monty).
The film is set during World War II in 1942 where nuns are isolated within a Scottish monastery and find a baby in a basket on their doorstep, the sisters take it in to take care of it but soon realise that this is no ordinary child.
Personally in cheesy comedic fashion, I’d see the baby, see the devil, slam the door shut and reel off a cheesy line such as ‘I ain’t having nun of that’ – end credits. But this is why I am not trusted to write scripts.
Tom Jolliffe (Cinderella’s Revenge) has penned the script with Nathan Shepka and Andy Crane directing.
Gary Collison of the hit UK film blog Flickering Myth is producing with Sanatan Kadakia executive producing.
Tom Jolliffe commented on the release:
The Baby in the Basket has been a passion project that has been brought to the screen by a fantastic cast and crew.
We can’t wait for the world to see the finished film and we’re delighted that Strive Global Media has secured worldwide sales rights and will be debuting the film at Cannes Film Market.
Gary said:
We are thrilled to be partnering with Miriam and the team at Strive Global Media on The Baby in the Basket and thank them for the enthusiasm they have shown towards the film.
It is testament to the work of our wonderful cast and crew, and we look forward to being able to share it with audiences around the world.
