Willa Fitzgerald and Kyle Gallner are reuniting with Strange Darling filmmaker JT Mollner for Skeletons. The upcoming creature feature also stars Brie Larson and, per the latest update from Deadline, John Goodman.

The film’s cast will also include Ione Skye and Daithí Ó Haragáin. Set at Sony Pictures, Skeletons is being described as a “modern take on the creature horror film,” and is “told from the perspective of a young boy who slowly begins to discover that his beloved parents are hiding a disturbing secret about his mother’s true nature.”

J.J. Abrams is producing, and Mollner will direct from a script by Love and Monsters and No One Will Save You scribe Brian Duffield. The script is based on the short story Fail-Safe by Philip Fracassi.

The movie hails from FilmNation Entertainment’s production label Infrared, J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot Productions, and Assemble Media. Drew Simon, Abrams and Jon Cohen will produce along with Jack Heller. Assemble’s Caitlin de Lisser-Ellen and Duffield will exec produce as will Roy Lee and Steven Schneider. Larson and Fracassi are also exec producing. Infrared is financing.

Strange Darling was widely hailed as one of the best horror films to be released in 2024, a year that included Nosferatu, Longlegs, and The Substance.
