Bloody Disgusting has had our eyes on Valdimar Jóhannsson’s supernatural drama Lamb for quite some time now and even shared a first-look at Prometheus star Noomi Rapace in the film last year.
Now, huge news ahead of Cannes as Variety is reporting that A24 has acquired the rights to the chiller, which looks like another Biblical drama in the vein of The Witch.
“Lamb is the story of a childless couple, María (Rapace) and Ingvar (Hilmir Snaer Gudnason), who are sheep farmers in Iceland.
“On Christmas Eve they find a newborn who is half human, half sheep.
“Longing for a child of their own they decide to keep the lamb-child and raise it as their own regardless of the consequences. This unexpected prospect of a new family brings them much joy, before ultimately destroys them.”
“A script like this is rare and I directly felt that I had to do it,” said Rapace when the film was originally announced in Variety. “I’ve never done anything like this before and I can’t wait to start filming and go back to my roots in Iceland.”
A trailer has been shared ahead of the Cannes premiere and it looks haunting, giving a very tiny taste of the title character presumably being buried by the couple.
Are you excited about this Christmas-set A24 pickup?
