Melissa Barrera To Star In Western Thriller ‘In The Cradle Of Granite’ From Ariel Escalante


Melissa Barrera is set to star in 'In the Cradle of Granite,' a new Western thriller from filmmaker Ariel Escalante.

But when she finds the body of a notorious wanted outlaw on her homestead, she strikes a deal with the bounty hunter who killed him — setting out across the dangerous frontier in hopes of a big reward and a better future. Last week seeing Vertical release her horror rom-com Your Monster, which premiered at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, Barrera told Deadline, “Ariel is a beautifully poetic filmmaker and I am honored to join him in his English language debut. Also recently seen in Scream VI and Universal Pictures’ monster movie Abigail, Barrera’s other upcoming projects include Kwame Kwei-Armah’s drama The Collaboration, on the friendship between artists Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat, and a new Peacock thriller series teaming James Wan and Simu Liu.
