Looks like Game of Thrones actress Natalie Dormer is stepping up her game with Anthony Byrne’s new thriller In Darkness. Not only is Dormer playing a blind pianist on the run, but she also helped pen the screenplay.
The film co-stars Ed Skrein, who is best known as the villain Ajax in Deadpool, and Emily Ratajkowski, who is best known as Ben Affleck’s teenage girlfriend in David Fincher’s thriller Gone Girl. And if you’ve missed word on the film until today, no worries, as we have the flick’s poster and trailer for you to check up on.
I’m immediately interested in seeing the film for not only the cast but to check out how Dormer does with a pen. Plus, the film’s synopsis (which you can read below) sounds like some good old fashioned giallo times to me.
In Darkness is directed by Anthony Byrne from a script he co-wrote with Dormer. The film stars Dormer along with Ratajkowski, Skrein, Joely Richardson, and James Cosmo; it hits theaters and On Demand May 25th.
Synopsis:
Blind pianist Sofia overhears a struggle in the apartment above hers that leads to the death of her neighbor Veronique. 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, 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.
