‘Honey Bunch’: Jason Isaacs to Star in New Thriller from Directors of ‘Violation’!!

Jason Isaacs will star in a new thriller from Madeleine Sims-Fewer and Dusty Mancinelli, the writer-directors of the acclaimed revenge film Violation. Honey Bunch will center around a woman suffering from memory problems who begins to suspect her husband is more than he appears to be. Deadline reports that the film has wrapped production in Canada.

Honey Bunch will star Grace Glowicki (Booger) as a woman who recently emerged from a coma, and is suffering from fragmented memories. She travels to a remote clinic with her husband (Ben Petrie, BlackBerry) to undergo experimental treatments to try to restore her memories – but their marriage begins to fracture under the strain, and she comes to believe her husband has ulterior motives for taking her there. In addition to Isaacs, the film also stars Kate Dickie (The Witch), India Brown (Invasion) and Julian Richings (Percy Jackson and the Olympians). It is the sophomore feature for writer-director duo Sims-Fewer and Mancinelli; Collider‘s Jasneet Singh called their first feature, Violation, a “significant and merciless addition to the revenge genre that doesn’t shy away from the cold hard truth“.
