Earlier this year, it was announced that Suspiria remake (watch it HERE) director Luca Guadagnino had cast Taylor Russell of Escape Room and Timothée Chalamet, who earned an Oscar nomination for his work in Guadagnino's Call Me By Your Name, in his horror film Bones and All, based on a novel by Camille DeAngelis (pick up a copy at THIS LINK). Bones and All is now filming in the Ohio Tri-State region, and the folks over at Deadline received proof in the form an image that shows Russell and Chalamet in character. This image can be seen below.
Described as a "coming-of-age horror story" and a "horror love story", Bones and All follows
Maren Yearly on a cross-country trip as she searches for the father she's never met in an attempt to understand why she has the urge to kill and eat the people that love her.
According to Deadline, Russell and Chalamet play
star-crossed young lovers surviving on the margins of society, who meet and join together for a thousand-mile odyssey that takes them through the back roads, hidden passages and trap doors of Ronald Reagan's America. Despite their best efforts, all roads lead back to their terrifying pasts and to a final stand that will determine whether their love can survive their otherness.
Here's the description from the book:
Maren Yearly is a young woman who wants the same things we all do. She wants to be someone people admire and respect. She wants to be loved. But her secret, shameful needs have forced her into exile. She hates herself for the bad thing she does, for what it's done to her family and her sense of identity; for how it dictates her place in the world and how people see her–how they judge her. She didn't choose to be this way.
Because Maren Yearly doesn't just break hearts, she devours them. Ever since her mother found Penny Wilson's eardrum in her mouth when Maren was just two years old, she knew life would never be normal for either of them. Love may come in many shapes and sizes, but for Maren, it always ends the same-with her hiding the evidence and her mother packing up the car.
But when her mother abandons her the day after her sixteenth birthday, Maren goes looking for the father she has never known, and finds much more than she bargained for along the way.
Faced with a world of fellow eaters, potential enemies, and the prospect of love, Maren realizes she isn't only looking for her father, she's looking for herself.
Camille DeAngelis' Bones & All is an astonishingly original coming-of-age tale that is at once a gorgeously written horror story as well as a mesmerizing meditation on female power and sexuality.
Guadagnino's Suspiria collaborator David Kajganich wrote the screenplay. Russell and Chalamet are joined in the cast by Mark Rylance, André Holland, Michael Stuhlbarg, Francesca Scorsese, Anna Cobb, Chloë Sevigny, Halloween 2018 director David Gordon Green, and original Suspiria star Jessica Harper.
