Jennifer Lawrence (Silver Linings Playbook) va produce si juca rolul principal in Burial Rites, o noua crime drama bazata pe o poveste adevarata.
Burial Rites spune povestea lui Agnes Magnusdottir (Lawrence), ultima femeie care a fost executata in public in Islanda, in anul 1830. Agnes fusese condamnata la moarte pentru uciderea a doi barbati si arderea casei lor. Aceasta asteapta confirmarea pedepsei, reflectand in acelasi timp asupra faptelor savarasite.
Filmul, bazat pe romanul din 2013 scris de Hannah Kent, va fi regizat de Luca Guadagnino, al carui Call Me by Your Name are sanse foarte mari a fie nominalizat la Premiile Oscar de anul viitor. TriStar Pictures va distribui international filmul.
“Luca is a rare talent. His movies capture an exquisite sense of place inextricably linked to the emotional state of the complex characters he creates. I can’t imagine a more thrilling partnership than Luca and Jennifer coming together to bring Agnes’ beautiful and tragic story to life,” a declarat Hannah Minghella, presedintele TriStar Pictures.
