Grabbers director Jon Wright is back with his next genre offering, the creature feature The Little People, described by the UK filmmaker as Gremlins meets Straw Dogs.
Ahead of Cannes, it was announced that Cornerstone Films has picked up worldwide sales rights to the film, based on an original screenplay by Mark Stay (Robot Overlords) and Wright.
In The Little People,
“Londoners Maya and Jamie escape their urban nightmare to the tranquility of rural Ireland only to discover malevolent, murderous goblins lurking in the gnarled, ancient wood at the foot of their new garden. When heavily pregnant Maya’s relationship with a local family turns sour, who – or what – will come to her rescue and what extremes will she go to to protect her unborn child?”
The film reunites the Grabbers creature team; including prosthetics by Shaune Harrison who has worked on some of the world’s highest grossing blockbusters including the Harry Potter films, Star Wars: The Phantom Menace and Avengers: Age of Ultron, along with creature designs by Paul Catling (Maleficent, Thor, Fantastic Beasts) and long time Wright collaborator VFX supervisor Paddy Eason (28 Weeks Later, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Grabbers).
The Little People is produced by Piers Tempest and Jo Bamford’s Tempo Productions (Military Wives, The Wife, Grabbers) with Cornerstone Films and Peter Touche (Unhinged, Military Wives, Blinded by the Light) of Ingenious Media executive producing.
