The Netflix feature film adaption of Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan’s serialized horror novella The Boy in the Iron Box is in production in Toronto.
Flying dark, a plane carrying a team of mercenaries crash-lands on a remote snowy summit. When they come across a maze-like stone fortress, it’s no refuge from the wolves and the freezing winds. It’s more like a trap. What they discover can stop the heart — or worse. As terror takes on a new shape, the real battle for survival begins.
The movie stars Rupert Friend, as Live, leader of the mercenaries, Kevin Durand is one of the mercenaries and Jaeden Martell is the boy in the iron box.
Chris Petrovski, Aksel Hennie, Arnas Fedaravičius, Eugene Prokofiev, , Johannes Haukur Johannesson and Julian Kostov round out the ensemble.
