“Dead Ringers” and “A History of Violence” helmer David Cronenberg will reunite with his “Eastern Promises” and “A Dangerous Method” star Vincent Cassel for the former’s new thriller “The Shrouds”.
The story centers on Karsh (Cassel), an innovative businessman and grieving widower, who builds a device to connect with the dead inside a burial shroud.
His revolutionary business is on the verge of breaking into the international mainstream when several graves within his cemetery are vandalized and nearly destroyed, including that of his wife.
While he struggles to uncover a clear motive for the attack, the mystery of who wrought this havoc, and why, will drive Karsh to reevaluate his business, marriage and fidelity.
Cronenberg will write as well as direct the film while Said Ben Said, Martin Katz and Michel Merkt will produce. Filming is set to begin in March next year.
