Way back in August of last year we learned that "American Horror Story" actress Emma Roberts and "Mad Men" actor Kiernan Shipka had signed on for the prep-school horror FEBRUARY, and today we've learned that the cast has grown by three with the addition of James Remar ("Dexter"), Lauren Holly ("Dumb and Dumber"), and Lucy Boynton (MISS POTTER).
Principal photography on FEBRUARY, which is written and directed by Osgood Perkins, son of legendary Psycho actor Anthony Perkins, is now underway in Ottawa. The film is produced by Unbroken Pictures’ Adrienne Biddle and Bryan Bertino (THE STRANGERS), Rob Paris’ Paris Film, Inc. (EVERLY), Zed Filmworks’ Rob Menzies and Alphonse Ghossein of Go Insane Films. Carissa Buffel and Kevin Matusow are executive producing under their Traveling Picture Show (THE QUIET ONES) banner along with 120dB Films’ Peter Graham and Steve Hayes, and Arianne Fraser.
FEBRUARY follows a trio of young women: Beautiful and haunted Joan, who makes a bloody and determined pilgrimage across a frozen landscape toward a prestigious all girls prep school, where Rose and Kat find themselves stranded after their parents mysteriously fail to retrieve them for winter break. As Joan gets closer, terrifying visions begin plaguing Kat while Rose watches in horror as she becomes possessed by an unseen evil force.
