J.R. Ramirez (Power) and child actor Emilio Del Real are set to lead The Mouth of the Furnace (La Boca del Horno).

The film is from Rosario director Felipe Vargas.

A reimagining of one of Colombia’s most popular folktales, The Mouth of the Furnace centers on a lonely prospector’s son who discovers a shadowy creature that offers a tempting — but deadly — way out of his impoverished town.

The film is being produced by Selene Films founder Sterlyn Ramírez (Boca Chica, Zafari), Spark Features co-founder Robina Riccitiello (Rebuilding, Dìdi), and Yvette Yates Redick and Shaun Redick of Impossible Dream Entertainment(Get Out, BlacKkKlansman). Yuneidys Lachapell is line producing, with Felix M. García, Kristen Riccitiello, Josh Peters, and Ramirez are serving as executive producers.

Deadline first reported on the casting.
