Anya Taylor-Joy delivered a breakthrough performance in THE WITCH, and has since followed that up by landing the title role in Luke Scott's sci-fi thriller MORGAN. For her next movie, the 20-year-old actress is staying within the genre, signing on to star in Sergio G. Sanchez's psychological thriller MARROWBONE.

This is the feature directorial debut of Sanchez, who wrote THE ORPHANAGE for director J.A. Bayona. Bayona is executive producing MARROWBONE, which follows 

a young man and his four younger siblings plagued by a sinister presence in the sprawling manor where they live and have kept secret the death of their beloved mother in order to remain together.

Taylor's co-stars include Mia Goth, George Mackay, and Charlie Heaton.

The star of THE WITCH and the writer of THE ORPHANAGE joining forces sounds like a must-see collaboration to me.
