Jason Isaacs, who plays Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter films, has joined the cast of Skeletons, which is currently shooting in Derbyshire. He joins cast members Ed Gaughan, Andrew Buckley and Paprika Steen.

Forward Films' Tracy Brimm and Kate Myers and Edge City Films' Paul Welsh are producing with EM Media and Scottish Screen.

Written and directed by Nick Whitfield, Skeletons is a surrealist comedy about two travelling salesmen in the business of cleaning skeletons out of people's closets.

It was developed by Forward Films and EM Media and was co-financed with European Regional Development Fund finance.

Skeletons is Forward Films' follow up to upcoming Pathe/WBEUK release Tormented which was produced with Slingshot Studios, Screen West Midlands and BBC Films. Tormented will be released in the UK on May 22.

Sure sounds like a black comedy! Hope so! He shines in those!

This looks like a rather small production. Besides Jason (of course). Paprika is the only one of any stature, going by her IMDb Pro rating, but no film I recognize. The production company hasn't put much out, really. Well, hopefully it pays well, and it least it keeps him close to home! Sometimes the small ones can be great, like DIVORCING JACK (though that had David Thewlis).

Apparently not anymore! Filming in Matlock Bath instead, according to the article.
Better luck next time, Marianne!

Here's the original short film, the one that Jason was so impressed with to take the role:
BBC Media Player: SKELETONS

Interesting!!! Wonder how they're making a full-length film out of the concept.
