Last year during AFM 2013 we showed you the first look at Charlize Theron as she appears in the upcoming film Dark Places. Well, it’s been a year, and we finally have some distro news to go along with that eye candy.
Variety is reporting that A24 and DIRECTV have acquired all U.S rights to Charlize Theron’s Dark Places, based on the novel by Gone Girl author Gillian Flynn.
Chloe Grace Moretz, Nicholas Hoult, Christina Hendricks, Tye Sheridan, and Corey Stoll also star. The film was directed by Gilles Paquet-Brenner from his adaptation.
Synopsis
Dark Places tells the story of Libby Day (Theron), a woman who, at the age of 7, survives the massacre of her family and testifies against her brother as the murderer. Twenty-five years later, a group obsessed with solving notorious crimes confronts her with questions about the horrific event. Told in a series of flashbacks from the points of view of Libby’s mother, Patty, and her brother, Ben, Libby is forced to revisit that fateful day and begins to question what exactly she saw – or didn’t see – the night of the tragedy.
