There's a new resident coming to Heelshire Mansion in Brahms: The Boy II, but we'll have to wait a little longer than expected to witness their arrival, as the sequel to 2016's The Boy has moved back several months on the release calendar.
According to Exhibitor Relations, Brahms: The Boy II will now be released on December 6th, 2019, with STX Entertainment moving it a little more than four months from its previous July 26th release date.
William Brent Bell is once again directing from a screenplay by Stacey Menear, with Katie Holmes playing the lead role of a new resident at the spooky Heelshire Mansion. Stay tuned to Daily Dead for more updates on Brahms: The Boy II, and check out the previous press release and image below:
Previous Press Release: LOS ANGELES, CA (JANUARY 30, 2019) – STXfilms, a division of STX Entertainment, and Lakeshore Entertainment announced today that The Boy 2, a follow-up to horror film director William Brent Bell’s The Boy (2016), began principal photography on Monday 28 January, in Vancouver, British Columbia.
Brent Bell returns to the helm following the success of The Boy (2016), which grossed $68M worldwide. Katie Holmes (Batman Begins, Logan Lucky, Dawson’s Creek) leads the cast as “Liza,” with Christopher Convery (Gotham, The Girl in the Spider's Web) to co-star as her son “Jude.” Owain Yeoman (American Sniper, The Belko Experiment)joins as her husband, “Sean,” and Ralph Ineson (The Witch, Guardians of the Galaxy, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Parts I & II) will play the role of “Joseph.”
Written by Stacey Menear, who also penned its predecessor, The Boy 2 will be produced by Lakeshore’s Tom Rosenberg, Gary Lucchesi and Eric Reid, in addition to Matt Berenson, Jim Wedaa and Roy Lee.
Unaware of the terrifying history of Heelshire Mansion, a young family moves into the estate, where their young son soon makes an unsettling new friend, an eerily life-like doll he calls Brahms.
STXinternational and Lakeshore introduced the film for the first time at last year’s AFM, where it sold out for all international territories.
Following their recent collaborations on Pierre Morel’s action-thriller Peppermint, starring Jennifer Garner, and the romantic drama Adrift, starring Sam Claflin and Shailene Woodley, STXfilms and Lakeshore Entertainment continue their successful partnership with The Boy 2. STX Entertainment, which is co-producing with Lakeshore, will distribute in the US, having jointly handled international sales with Lakeshore.
