EMMA ROBERTS AND KIERNAN SHIPKA TO STAR IN OSGOOD PERKINS’ “FEBRUARY”
Highland Film Group to Handle International Sales Beginning at the Toronto International Film Festival
Los Angeles, August 28, 2014 – Highland Film Group announced today that Emma Roberts (WE’RE THE MILLERS, ‘American Horror Story’) and Kiernan Shipka (‘Mad Men,’ CARRIERS) will star in the horror/thriller film FEBRUARY. The script is written and directed by Osgood Perkins, the son of legendary PSYCHO actor Anthony Perkins.
FEBRUARY is produced by Unbroken Pictures’ Adrienne Biddle and Bryan Bertino (THE STRANGERS) and Rob Paris’ Paris Film, Inc. (EVERLY). Highland Film Group will be handling international sales and will introduce the film to buyers at the Toronto International Film Festival next month.
In FEBRUARY, beautiful and haunted Joan 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.
“We look forward to bringing Osgood’s tantalizing story to life while keeping audiences riveted with suspense,” said producers Bertino, Biddle and Paris. Highland Film Groups’ Arianne Fraser and Delphine Perrier added: “Having these two brilliant young actresses as a part of the team will no doubt translate with our buyers and audiences worldwide.”
Roberts is repped by CAA and manager, David Sweeny. Shipka is represented by CAA and Perkins by Paradigm.
