Jacob Tremblay and Woody Norman Set to Star in Film Adaptation of Survival Drama THE SKELETON TREE

Jacob Tremblay (Room) and Woody Norman (C’mon C’mon) have signed on to star in the survival drama feature titled The Skeleton Tree. The story is based on the 2016 book by Iain Lawrence and is being written, directed, and produced by Paul Barry in his directorial debut.

“The Skeleton Tree follows two boys, whose lives are changed forever when they survive a boating accident and end up stranded on a remote Alaskan shore. Through environmental calamities and unimaginable obstacles, the fundamentally different pair must eventually trust and depend on each other to survive.”

87North’s Kelly McCormick is producing the film alongside Barry, Michael Collins, and Kristian Andresen via their 3Fifty Films banner, with 87North’s David Leitch executive producing. The film is set to sell at Cannes.

Kristen Figeroid, Sierra/Affinity’s Managing Director and Executive VP, said of the casting:

”Paul Barry has crafted a remarkable survival story that will feature two of the most charismatic young actors working today in Jacob and Woody. In addition to Paul and this exceptional cast, we look forward to continuing our relationship with Sierra alum Kelly McCormick and the brilliant team at 87North.”

These two young actors are so talented. This sounds like a great story, and the two of them will undoubtedly pull off a couple of great performances. We’ll let you know more about the film as it develops.
