EXCLUSIVE: The Revisionist, the drama starring Oscar winner Dustin Hoffman (Rain Man), Alison Brie (Glow), André Holland (Moonlight), and Tom Sturridge (The Sandman), is heading to the Cannes market with Palisades Park Pictures handling international sales.
We first told you about writer-director Alex Vlack’s feature film debut late last year and the movie is now in post. WME Independent will handle North America rights.
In The Revisionist, “Elise, a successful novelist, does what so many writers do: she manipulates and transforms the people in her life into the characters she needs for her story. As she blurs the line between fiction and reality, her world descends into secrets, lies, and outright betrayal. The project is an exploration of the psychological lengths to which a writer will go to achieve their art.”
Pic is produced by Arielle Elwes, Veronica Radaelli, Fiona Robert, Sophia Robert, Zachary Spicer and Alex Vlack. Executive producers are Cassian Elwes, Paul Robarts, Andy Steinman, Jeffrey Michael Deary, Hunter Gray, Gordon Strain and Jeremy Chilnick. Production recently wrapped in Louisville, KY.
“The Revisionist is entertaining, touching, and a thoroughly compelling movie that keeps you guessing at every turn. It has something for everyone,” said Palisades exec Tara Birkemoe. “We’re very excited to be working with such stellar talent and bring Alex’s vision to audiences worldwide.”
Palisades Park Pictures’ Cannes slate also includes the family adventure The Magic Faraway Tree starring Andrew Garfield, Claire Foy, Rebecca Ferguson, Nicola Coughlan, Emmy Winner Jessica Gunning, and Jennifer Saunders; and The Jim Henson Company’s live action monster tale Grendel, starring Jeff Bridges, Dave Bautista, Bryan Cranston, Thomasin McKenzie, Sam Elliott and T Bone Burnett.
