The Boy 2 has rounded out its cast.
American Sniper actor Owain Yeoman and Ready One Player actor Ralph Ineson are on board STXfilms’ follow-up to the 2016 horror thriller, The Boy 2. News of their casting comes just over a week after it was reported that the production added Christopher Convery (The Girl in the Spider’s Web) to the cast. The two join previously announced lead Katie Holmes.
The sequel to the horror pic is direct by William Brent Bell from a script penned by Stacey Menear.
The film centers on a young family unaware of the terrifying history of Heelshire Mansion, where they had just moved into. Holmes will play Liza the mother of Jude (Convery) who makes an unsettling new friend in the estate, an eerily life-like doll he calls Brahms. Yeoman will play Sean, the husband to Holmes’ Liza and Ineson has been cast in the role of Joseph.
The first installment, The Boy, grossed $68M worldwide.
Shooting of The Boy 2 is slated to begin in January in Victoria, BC.
