EXCLUSIVE: Zoe Colletti (Only Murders In The Building, Boo), Regan Aliyah (Marvel’s Ironheart, XO Kitty), and Andrew Liner (Vampire Academy, Bang Bang) have joined Michelle Dockery in Destry Allyn Spielberg’s feature directorial debut, Please Don’t Feed the Children, as Altitude launches the genre film at the Cannes Market.
In Please Don’t Feed The Children, after a viral outbreak ravages the country’s adult population, a group of orphans heads south in search of a new life, only to find themselves at the mercy of a deranged woman harboring a dangerous secret.
Jason Dubin (Who Invited Charlie?, Babysitters) is producing the heightened genre piece through his Perry Street Films imprint, along with Josh Kesselman (The Great, Devil’s Peak) and Michael Hagerty (Old Henry). Principal photography begins in Santa Fe, New Mexico, next month on a script from Paul Bertino.
In March, we brought you news of Dockery’s casting as the lead, and then told you Altitude was launching worldwide sales in Cannes, with WME International taking North America.
“I am over the moon about this cast,” said Spielberg. “Each of them shines in their own special way. They are all beyond devoted to their craft and their hard work shows.”
“We’re thrilled Zoe, Reagan and Andrew have joined Michelle and the talented team of Please Don’t Feed The Children, a uniquely fresh take on a trusted genre that is both commercially viable while staying true to its artistic integrity,” said Dubin. “With Destry at the helm, an amazing team in front of and behind the camera, and an incredible script, Please Don’t Feed The Children will keep moviegoers on the edge of their seats throughout the film and conversation going well after the movie has ended.”
