According to The Hollywood Reporter, Canada’s Zone Films will produce a horror film called Piecemeal, to be shot next fall. Daniel Roby will direct from a screenplay by Jeff Welch.
Piecemeal centers on a teenaged boy who is plagued by nightmares in which he is horribly abused, and who fights to control his resulting rage in his waking hours. Zone Film topper Roby previously directed 2004’s vampire drama La Peau Blanche (White Skin; pictured), an adaptation of Joël Champetier’s novel that won an award for best Canadian debut feature at the Toronto International Film Festival, and was released on U.S. DVD as Cannibal by Lionsgate. The producer of Piecemeal is Simon Trottier, whose credits include Pascal Laugier’s much-buzzed-about new gorefest Martyrs. Seville Pictures will release the movie in Canada and Britain, with no U.S. distributor currently set.
