Melissa Leo and Lili Reinhart’s upcoming movie, ‘The Mannequin,’ will be filmed in North Bay, Ontario, between June 29 and July 31 this year. Sean Byrne is the writer and director. The thriller follows Charley (Reinhart), a determined Chicago cop and young mother, who moves her family to a small town in the hope of a safer future. But the promise of peace shatters when a series of violent abductions rips through the community. Partnering with Sadie, the town’s hardened Police Chief (Leo), haunted by her own past, Charley is pulled into a hunt for a predator whose brutality defies comprehension. As time runs out and the violence escalates, the two women risk everything to stop him before it’s too late.
