Move over, dad–here she comes.
Destry Allyn Spielberg–the daughter of the Oscar-wining director–will bring her first feature film to the Cannes Film Market this month, with Altitude Film Sales handling worldwide sales, according to a report on Deadline.
The horror thriller Please Don’t Feed the Children–expected to start shooting May 30 in New Mexico–is written by Paul Bertino and stars Michelle Dockery (Downton Abbey). Additional casting is underway.
In the feature, a viral outbreak decimates the country’s adult population, and a group of orphans “heads south in search of a new life,” according to the synopsis, “only to find themselves at the mercy of a deranged woman harboring a dangerous secret.”
The younger Spielberg called her film “so much more than just a horror movie,” adding that she’s so grateful to have the opportunity to bring this story to the big screen “with such a collaborative and inspirational team.”
