Ned isn’t abusive, merely cold and neglectful, and when Anna first left him, he barely minded the loss of his wife-“He’d been indifferent to me for a long time, as he’s indifferent to most people who aren’t of use to him”-or the daughter he never wanted in the first place. Sweet Lamb of Heaven’s woman-in-peril plot at first seems to lack the confidence of its melodrama. Stone is repped by Creative Artists Agency, Stacey Testro International, and attorney David Fox.That’s a serviceable if not particularly original premise for what turns out to be an extraordinary metaphysical thriller from one of America’s most inventive novelists. Keough is repped by WME, Thirty Three Management. Keough is currently shooting Wash Westmoreland’s The Earthquake Bird and has two films premiering at Cannes this year: Lars Von Trier’s The House That Jack Built and David Robert Mitchell’s Under the Silver Lake. In addition to the Best Revival and Best Actress Olivier Award wins for the Young Vic production, the sold-out New York production was just nominated for two Drama League Awards including Outstanding Revival and four Drama Desk Awards, including Best Director. He recently made his stateside stage debut in Yerma, which he directed and adapted from the Federico Garcia Lorca play. Stone is also known for his theater work across the UK, Europe and Australia. Stone, who has acted in TV series and features such as Fred Schepisi’s The Eye of the Storm and Michael Henry’s Blame, made his feature directorial debut with the 2015 drama The Daughter starring Geoffrey Rush, Sam Neill and Paul Schneider. 'The One': HanWay Films Boards Erotic Horror Starring Melissa Barrera & Nicholas Hoult Norton & Company, received a number of accolades including the National Book Award for Fiction and Kirkus Best Book of 2016. As his pursuit of Anna and their child moves from threatening to criminal, Ned begins to alter his wife’s world in ways she never could have imagined.
The longer they stay, the less the guests in the dingy motel look like typical tourists - and the less Ned resembles a typical candidate. Ned chases Anna and their six-year-old daughter from Alaska to Maine, and the two go into hiding in a run-down motel on the coast. Sweet Lamb of Heaven follows Anna, a young mother, who is escaping her cold and unfaithful husband, Ned, a businessman who’s just launched his first campaign for political office. The domestic thriller/psychological horror novel was one of three novels Felix Culpa acquired rights to when they announced their label with Deadline. EXCLUSIVE: Riley Keough and Gina Gammell’s production company Felix Culpa has set Australian filmmaker Simon Stone to adapt and direct Lydia Millet’s New York Times bestseller Sweet Lamb of Heaven: A Novel. Keough is also set to star as Anna in the film and will produce alongside Gammell and Scott Free.
