Living in an alternate reality, ‘MARIONETTE’ tells the story of a therapist who loses her grip on reality when a ten-year-old boy claims he can control her future.

Los Angeles, CA – Feb 11, 2020 – ROCK SALT RELEASING has boarded world sales for multi-award winning Dutch director, Elbert van Strien’s gripping psychological thriller, ‘MARIONETTE’ (2019), launching worldwide sales at the upcoming EFM, learned Deadline exclusively.

“I immediately recognized its commercial appeal, so it’s no surprise we’re in bidding wars for key territories in Europe and throughout Asia. I’m excited for audiences to take this ride – MARIONETTE pulls you in and keeps you on the edge of your seat,” said Daisy Hamilton of ROCK SALT RELEASING, after picking up rights at Frontières Platform at the Marché du Film – Festival de Cannes.

Written by Elbert van Strien (Two Eyes Staring, Forbidden Eyes) and Ben Hopkins, MARIONETTE is a new take on M. Night Shyamalan’s The Sixth Sense (1999), starring Thekla Reuten (Red Sparrow, In Bruges, The American), Primetime Emmy nominee, Peter Mullan (Children of Men, Ozark, War Horse), Elijah Wolf (T2, Trainspotting), Rebecca Front (Transformers: The Last Knight, The Thick of It), and veteran actor, Bill Paterson (The Witches, Kingdom of Heaven).

MARIONETTE tells the story of a child therapist, Marianne (Reuten), who moves to Scotland to start a new life after the tragic death of her husband. She begins to treat a disturbed ten-year-old boy, Manny (Elijah Wolf), who draws pictures of terrible events. But when Manny’s drawings prove to be predictions of real, future events, Marianne begins an obsessive quest for the truth that will quickly derail her life.
