Overview
- The production confirmed on Wednesday that Talia Ryder will play Jane after principal photography recently wrapped in Germany.
- Michael Shannon stars as Doctor Caligari, a traveling mesmerist who controls a sleepwalker and is linked in the script to a string of grisly murders.
- John Erick Dowdle wrote and directed the contemporary reimagining from a script he co-wrote with his brother Drew Dowdle.
- Anton is fully financing the film and handling worldwide rights while CAA Media Finance will co-represent North American rights as the project is offered at the TIFF market.
- The project draws directly on the legacy of Robert Wiene’s 1920 The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, received support from Film- und Medienstiftung NRW and the German Federal Film Fund, and faces close scrutiny as a high-profile modern reinterpretation.
