BONEYARD - WE CHAT WITH ONE OF THE FILM'S STARS NORA ZEHETNER AND DIRECTOR ASIF AKBAR

BONEYARD is a new crime thriller based on a real serial murder case.

When the skeletal remains of eleven women and girls are discovered in the New Mexico desert, an extensive investigation is launched. Inspired by true crime stories, this chilling crime-thriller follows Detective Ortega (Brian Van Holt), Police Chief Carter (Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson), and Agent Petrovick (Mel Gibson) in a multi-agency effort to identify and apprehend the killer. As each of their agendas and methods clash, a tangled web of intrigue casts suspicion in all directions.

Also starring is Nora Zehetner, as Detective Young, the only female cop on the force. She appeared in Tart (2001), American Pie 2 (2001), R.S.V.P. (2002), May (2002), and The Song of Rose (2003), as well as in other films and several TV series and commercials. Zehetner portrayed Laynie Hart on the WB's show Everwood. In Brick, which won the Special Jury Prize for Originality of Vision at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival, Zehetner plays the femme fatale Laura. The soundtrack CD of this film, released by Lakeshore Records on March 21, 2006, features Zehetner's full, unedited performance of "The Sun Whose Rays Are All Ablaze".

Zehetner portrayed the recurring role of Dr. Reed Adamson for 10 episodes during the sixth season (2009–2010) of the television series Grey's Anatomy. Nora plays Annie Glenn, the wife of astronaut John Glenn,[6] in the television series The Right Stuff which premiered in October 2020 on Disney+
