The fact Dark Places is another adaptation of a Gillian Flynn (“Gone Girl”) novel and it doesn’t yet have a stateside release, but will be hitting theaters in France on April 8 is a bit baffling to me. It’s even more baffling when you consider Charlize Theron leads the picture with co-stars including Chloé Grace Moretz, Nicholas Hoult, Christina Hendricks, Tye Sheridan, Corey Stoll and Drea de Matteo. I mean, names alone should get people to see this right? So, is it a problem with the movie? It has to be… right?
Well, today you get a closer look at the film in the following three minute clip as Theron, playing a woman who survived the brutal killing of her family as a child, is taken on a tour by Hoult of the “Kill Club”, a place where people apparently gather out of a shared interest in murderers? Or, as the synopsis tells it, a secret society obsessed with solving notorious crimes. The clip appears to get into the more behind-the-scenes stuff that goes on at this “Kill Club” (which I have to admit, sounds pretty silly), but I don’t know, I only watched a little over a minute because I didn’t want to spoil it in case I actually end up seeing the movie.
A24 is handling the U.S. release and hopefully they’ll announce a date soon.
