The film is adapted from Ursula Wills’ short story “The Wicker Husband,” and features cinematography by Lol Crawley (“The Brutalist”), production design by Renátó Cseh (“Poor Things”), costumes by András Dániel Tóth and Attila Godena-Juhász, a score by Anna Meredith (“Eighth Grade”) and work from the design shop, Wētā Workshop (“Avatar,” “The Lord of The Rings”).

“‘Wicker’ is just the kind of film we’re passionate about championing at Black Bear,” said Benjamin Kramer, President of U.S. Distribution. “It’s bold, entertaining, and totally unlike anything else, as its early fans at Sundance have seen. Eleanor and Alex’s creative ambition shines through at every turn. Alongside an unforgettable cast, they have created a fresh and special experience. Supporting visionary filmmakers is at the core of what we do, and we look forward to bringing this unique story to audiences in theaters.”

The film was financed by Tango and Topic Studios with Tim Headington, Lia Buman, Ryan Heller and Michael Bloom producing alongside South of The River’s Colman, Ed Sinclair, and Tom Carver; Yoki, Inc’s David Michôd and Brad Zimmerman; and Justin Lothrop and Brent Stiefel for Votiv, who originated and financed development, as well as Andrea Cornwell and Oliver Kassman. Executive producers include Ian Stratford, Jasmine Daghighian, Jennifer Westin, Neil Shah, Max Silva, and Lina Stroud.

In addition to releasing “Wicker” domestically, Black Bear will also oversee international sales of the film and will release it directly in the UK and in Canada via its subsidiary, Elevation Pictures.
