Brain On Fire este o noua drama bazata pe memoriile lui Susannah Cahalan din 2012; Denver & Delilah, compania de productie a lui Charlize Theron, va produce si finanta filmul, alaturi de Broad Green Pictures si Foundation Features.
Gerard Barrett (Glassland) va regiza drama, care ii are in distributie pe Chloë Grace Moretz, Jenny Slate si Thomas Mann. Brain On Fire spune povestea adevarata a lui Cahalan (Moretz), o tanara jurnalista de la The New York Post, care incepe brusc sa aiba atacuri si sa auda voci. Timp de mai multe saptamani, care o aduc in pragul nebuniei, ea trece de la violenta la catatonie. Dupa o serie de crize si episoade psihotice, diagnostice gresite si o sedere lunga in spital, o interventie neasteptata a unui medic va descoperi boala de care sufera si ii va reda speranta unei vieti normale.
“We are excited to work with this incredible group of filmmakers and actors to bring Susannah Cahalan’s life story to the big screen. With the help of our partners at Mister Smith, we will be able to share this incredibly moving film with a global audience,” a declarat Daniel Hammond, CCO-ul Broad Green Pictures.
Filmarile au inceput in iulie, in Vancouver, Brain On Fire avand premiera in 2016.
