Talia Ryder Joins Michael Shannon in DOCTOR CALIGARI'S CABINET OF WONDERS

Talia Ryder has joined Michael Shannon in DOCTOR CALIGARI'S CABINET OF WONDERS, a contemporary reimagining of the 1920 horror classic THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI. The film recently wrapped production in Germany and is being sold internationally by Anton.

Shannon stars as the titular Doctor Caligari, a traveling mesmerist who journeys from town to town with a sleepwalker under his control, leaving a trail of grisly murders in his wake. When a young woman's boyfriend disappears, she becomes convinced Caligari is responsible, though no one believes her. Ryder plays Jane, an intuitive young woman whose ability to perceive what others can't has left her an outcast, and who is haunted by her sister's murder and her parents' betrayal.

DOCTOR CALIGARI'S CABINET OF WONDERS is written and directed by John Erick Dowdle. Ryder is known for her breakout role in Eliza Hittman's NEVER RARELY SOMETIMES ALWAYS, for which she received Independent Spirit and Critics' Choice nominations, and for HONEY DON'T!. Shannon previously starred in THE SHAPE OF WATER.

DOCTOR CALIGARI'S CABINET OF WONDERS is produced by augenschein Filmproduktion, alongside Anton, Brothers Dowdle Productions, and Novo Entertainment. The film was shot in Germany and was supported by Film- und Medienstiftung NRW and the German Federal Film Fund (DFFF). Worldwide sales are handled by Anton.
