June 20, 2023 by Gary Collinson

Flickering Myth is delighted to announce that Bond girl Maryam d’Abo is set to make her return to British horror, having joined the cast of our upcoming feature film The Baby in the Basket in the role of the Mother Superior.

Best known internationally for her role alongside Timothy Dalton as Bond girl Kara Milovy in 1987’s The Living Daylights, d’Abo began her acting career with a role in the cult 1982 British horror Xtro; her other horror credits include director Oliver Parker’s fantasy horror Dorian Gray along with the anthology series Tales from the Crypt.

The Baby in the Basket sees d’Abo joining a cast that includes Paul Barber (The Full Monty, Only Fools and Horses), Amber Doig-Thorne (Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey, Return of Krampus), Annabelle Lanyon (Legend, Dream Demon), Michaela Longden (Jack in the Box: Awakening, The Ghost Within) and Elle O’Hara (When Darkness Falls, Memories of Another).

“We’re massively excited to round out our great cast for The Baby in the Basket with Maryam and look forward to seeing what she brings to the role of Mother Superior,” said director and executive producer Nathan Shepka.

“We’re delighted to add Maryam D’abo to the cast,” added writer and executive producer Tom Jolliffe. “Alongside Paul Barber and Annabelle Lanyon, we have a wealth of experience opposite our rising cast members, Michaela, Elle and Amber.”

Directed by Nathan Shepka (When Darkness Falls, Holiday Monday) from a script by Tom Jolliffe (Renegades, War of the Worlds: The Attack), The Baby in the Basket is being produced by Shepka Productions and Flickering Myth in association with Nerdly. Nathan Shepka, Tom Jolliffe and Gary Collinson are the producers.
