T-minus 24: Jay Baruchel & Emily Hampshire Toplined Caitlin Cronenberg’s “Humane”

Date:

Deets Caitlin Cronenberg’s directorial debut were scarce but we’re now in the know as production has just wrapped up. Deadline reports that the one month shoot took place in Hamilton, Ontario and that Caitlin grabbed a Montreal twosome in actors in Jay Baruchel and Emily Hampshire plus a supporting cast of Peter Gallagher, Sebastian Chacon, Alanna Bale and Sirena Gulamgaus for Humane. We also learn that Crimes of the Future cinematographer Doug Koch didn’t stray too far away from the Cronenberg fam as he was onboard this project as well. Depending on how much post work is involved, this could make an attempt at a Croisette world premiere showing.

Humane takes place over a single day months after a global environmental collapse has forced world leaders to take extreme measures to reduce the earth’s population.
