Vertical Entertainment has announced a May 25th theatrical and VOD release for the revenge thriller IN DARKNESS, which stars Game of Thrones' Natalie Dormer, who also wrote the film with director Anthony Byrne.
Dormer's co-stars include Ed Skrein, Emily Ratajkowski, Jan Bijvoet, Neil Maskell, James Cosmo, and Joely Richardson.
The plot:
Blind pianist Sofia (Dormer) overhears a struggle in the apartment above hers that leads to the death of her neighbor Veronique (Ratajkowski). It is the start of a journey that pulls Sofia out of her depth and brings her into contact with Veronique’s father, Milos Radic (Bijvoet), a Serbian businessman accused of being a war criminal. Sofia is drawn into a dangerous world of corruption, investigating police, hitmen and the Russian mafia – a world with links to Sofia’s own hidden past and a path of revenge she has kept hidden until now.
The story sounds pretty interesting to me, and Dormer and Skrein make for appealing leads. With the release now less than two months away, I'm hoping to see a trailer for the film arrive online soon.
Dormer and Byrne produced IN DARKNESS with Adam Morane-Griffiths, Ben Pugh, and Josh Varney. The pair had this to say about their film:
The zeitgeist dialogue on gender disparity hadn’t even begun when we started writing In Darkness together. We celebrate that the industry landscape is finally shifting and are proud to share In Darkness with its strong yet flawed heroine."
