The Island Between Tides: Paloma Kwiatkowski stars in J.M. Barrie supernatural thriller

Novelist and playwright J.M. Barrie is best known for creating the character of Peter Pan, but legendary filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock was fascinated by a different Barrie story, his gothic bedtime tale Mary Rose. Although Hitchcock once held the rights to bring the story to the screen, he wasn’t able to make it happen – and later said that one of his life’s greatest regrets was that he didn’t make a film based on Mary Rose. Andrew Holmes (Dolph) and Austin Andrews (Julie and the Phantoms) won’t have that regret. The writers/directors/producers are currently filming the Mary Rose adaptation The Island Between Tides.

Paloma Kwiatkowski (Riot Girls) stars in The Island Between Tides as

Lily, a young woman who follows a mysterious melody onto a remote tidal island. When she crosses back over at the next low tide, she emerges into a world where decades have passed.

Kwiatkowski is joined in the cast by Donal Logue (Blade), David Mazouz (Gotham), Camille Sullivan (Hunter Hunter), and Adam Beach (Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee).

The Island Between Tides is coming to us from Flicker Theory, Famous Red Car, and Mad Samurai Productions. Matthew Cervi and Josh Huculiak are also producing the film, with Morgana Wyllie and Amber Ripley co-producing. Darren Benning, James Tocher, Michael Shepard, and Adam Scorgie serve as executive producers.

Production on this one was made possible with support from Telefilm Canada. According to the producers (via Deadline), The Island Between Tides is the first film to shoot in the northern Canadian port city of Prince Rupert, British Columbia.
