Melissa Barrera To Star In Western Thriller ‘In The Cradle Of Granite’ From Ariel Escalante
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: Melissa Barrera (Scream VI) is set to lead In the Cradle of Granite, a new Western thriller marking the English-language debut of Ariel Escalante (Domingo and the Mist).
Based on an original screenplay by Jay Holmes, the film is set in the brutal American west of the late 1800s, where a young mother (Barrera) struggles to provide for her family after her husband dies and the local town folk won’t do business with her.
But when she finds the body of a notorious wanted outlaw on her homestead, she strikes a deal with the bounty hunter who killed him — setting out across the dangerous frontier in hopes of a big reward and a better future.
Producing the picture are Joel David Moore, Rishi Bajaj and Daniel Taborga of Balcony 9 Productions (upcoming Bride Hard, Immaculate Room), Jonathan Sadowski and Daniel Pancotto of Ad Lunam Ent, and Gregory Thomas.
