We told you during our Sundance coverage that David Lowery’s film A Ghost Story found a home with A24 and today the studio has announced a July 7th release date for the film.
Filmed under the radar, the supernatural tale stars Casey Affleck and Rooney Mara. Affleck plays “a spectral figure” who returns to his former home to watch over his grief-stricken lover, played by Mara.
Lowery, whose Ain’t Them Bodies Saints played at the 2013 festival, most recently directed Disney’s Pete’s Dragon. He also wrote A Ghost Story, which, according to sources, A24 acquired sight unseen. The film is produced by Toby Halbrooks, James M. Johnston, and Adam Donaghey.
The film tells the tale of a ghost and the house he haunts. Check out some new eye-candy below.
The Festival will host screenings in Park City, Salt Lake City, and at Sundance Mountain Resort in Utah from January 19 through 29, 2017.
