Darren Lynn Bousman has been shocking and entertaining us for almost two decades. Whether creating entries in the Saw universe or making badass rock operas like Repo! The Genetic Opera, he knows how to make a spectacle. And he’s proving that even more with his new film The Cello, a gnarly tale of music, desire, and sacrifice.
Read the full synopsis:
Like many musicians, accomplished Saudi cellist Nasser (Samer Ismail) has aspirations for greatness, though he feels like he’s held back by the old, dilapidated instrument he’s forced to play. When Nasser is offered the chance to take possession of a gorgeous red cello by a mysterious shop owner (Tobin Bell), he finds new inspiration both for his playing and for his composing. What Nasser doesn’t realize is that this cello has a nefarious past...
Dread Central spoke with Bousman about working in the Middle East, directing Jeremy Irons, and more.
