They are joined by production designer Alan Gilmore ( The Pope’s Exorcist), costume designer Howard Burden ( The Last Kingdom) and hair and make-up designer Susanna Peretz ( Hamlet). Told in the first person and in the present tense, the story becomes a surreal and disorienting mishmash of dreams and reality, as Kate, hopped up on sleeping pills and white wine, finds her nightmares of Aleppo mingling with childhood memories of the death of her brother, and with the screams she believes she hears coming from the house next door at night. She paints a disturbing, harrowing picture of Kate’s mental state as she struggles to convince both her family and the police that there is an abused Iraqi boy living next door, a boy only she has noticed, who reminds her of the heartbreaking death of a child she befriended in Aleppo. Kate Rafter, the war reporter in Nuala Ellwood’s rather well written debut thriller My Sister’s Bones, is given her own moment of mirror self-scrutiny early on, but what she sees is far from adorable. EXCLUSIVE: Olga Kurylenko ( Black Widow), Jenny Seagrove ( Another Mother’s Son), Anna Friel ( Marcella) and Ben Miles ( The Crown) have wrapped production on the under-the-radar psychological thriller My Sister’s Bones, whose first-look images we can reveal today.She’s also dealing with an alcoholic sister, Sally, with whom she shares a childhood of tragedy and abuse. The heroine ruefully inspecting her (adorable but rumpled) reflection is a cliche of badly written romantic fiction. Pic is produced by Bill Kenwright ( Broken), and executive produced by David Gilbery ( The Lost Daughter) and Naomi George ( My Pure Land) for London-based BKStudios. If I’ve learned anything from over 15 years of reporting, it’s that,” Kate tells us, before doing her best to fight it. Her sister, Cassie, has always been her touchstone, the person she turns to for advice and guidance, the person whose opinion means the most to her.

In Billie Weinstein we meet a character as funny, vivid, and endearing as any in recent memory, and watch her transformation as she achieves freedom from the seemingly unbreakable web of family ties. A horrific incident in war-torn Iraq and the death of her mother (Steed) have brought a haunted Rafter home to Herne Bay, a place she believed she had escaped forever. A poignant story of self-discovery, My Sister’s Bones explores the shifting landscape of family, friendship, and love through the eyes of a young girl possessed of a wisdom far beyond her years. Upcoming projects from BKStudios include period thriller The Critic, starring Ian McKellen, Gemma Arterton, Mark Strong and Leslie Manville; and the screen adaptation of Eugene O’Neill’s classic play Long Day’s Journey into Night starring Jessica Lange, Ed Harris, Ben Foster and Colin Morgan.

Her resentful sister (Friel) has not made her sister welcome and her forbearing husband Paul (Miles) fails to broker peace. West End theatre producer and film producer Kenwright has also been the chairman of Everton Football Club since 2004. Now Billie has become Cassie’s confidante, the only one Cassie trusts enough to tell the truth to, and Billie is suddenly thrust into an unfamiliar–and disturbing–role; one that drives her to make choices that will forever change the way she looks at the world. Creating a strong distinctive style that would reflect the complexity of the story was as important to me as working with our incredible ensemble cast on finding the truth in the Rafter family trauma so that together we could craft a distinctive thriller,” Greensmith said. the first 18 years of my life had been spent in near-darkness, terrified of what lay hidden in the corners.
