“Canadian genre director Brett Kelly, who is currently hard at work on the musical, zombie comedy MY FAIR ZOMBIE (www.myfairzombiemovie.com ), has decided what his next project will be and it is somewhat familiar terrain with a new twist. Kelly will be relaunching his movie THE BONESETTER as a bigger-budgeted reboot. The original cult film was shot in 2002 and was a modest hit on DVD. The original was followed by a sequel, THE BONESETTER RETURNS.
The Bonesetter films are about a nineteenth century Quebec healer that kidnaps and murders children. A century later, the Bonesetter returns to continue his evil work.
The brand new movie, simply titled THE BONESETTER will be all new, not a retelling of the original film. Kelly says “I’m excited to revisit this character after so long. At the time there were many things that I wanted to accomplish with the character that I wasn’t able to do either because of the technology of the day or because of my green-ness to the biz at the time. The new Bonesetter film will kick ass and scare the pants of folks.”
Plans are to film THE BONESETTER in early 2013.” [Official Website]
