I’ve not heard of anyone involved with this project, but sometimes those are the best kinds of projects to focus on for a bit. THR got word this morning that Zone Film is developing a new movie called Piecemeal, working from a script by Jeff Welch.
The film will be directed by Daniel Roby, who took home accolades from the Toronto International Film Festival a few years back for his Canadian vampire film White Skin, which was released here by Lionsgate as Cannibal back in 2006. The story of Piecemeal follows a teenager struggling to control his rage while living the life of a brutally abused young man in a series of recurring nightmares.
The only principal involved whose name I recognize is Martyrs producer Simon Trottier, which is good enough for me. Piecemeal will be the next film Roby directs after finishing up the 70’s-era saga Funkytown in March.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Canada’s Zone Films will produce a horror film called Piecemeal, to be shot next fall. Daniel Roby will direct from a screenplay by Jeff Welch.
Piecemeal centers on a teenaged boy who is plagued by nightmares in which he is horribly abused, and who fights to control his resulting rage in his waking hours. Zone Film topper Roby previously directed 2004’s vampire drama La Peau Blanche (White Skin; pictured), an adaptation of Joël Champetier’s novel that won an award for best Canadian debut feature at the Toronto International Film Festival, and was released on U.S. DVD as Cannibal by Lionsgate. The producer of Piecemeal is Simon Trottier, whose credits include Pascal Laugier’s much-buzzed-about new gorefest Martyrs. Seville Pictures will release the movie in Canada and Britain, with no U.S. distributor currently set.
