One of the hottest tickets out of this past January’s Sundance Film Festival was A Ghost Story, written and directed by David Lowery (Pete’s Dragon, Peter Pan).
A24, the company behind The Witch, The Blackcoat’s Daughter, Green Room and Ex Machina will distribute the film on July 7th with Picturehouse partnering on the UK release Aug. 11.
Oscar nominated Casey Affleck (ParaNorman, The Killer Inside Me), Rooney Mara (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, A Nightmare on Elm Street), Will Oldham, Sonia Acevedo, Rob Zabrecky, and Liz Franke star in this story of a ghost and the house he haunts.
“Recently deceased, a white-sheeted ghost (Casey Affleck) returns to his suburban home to console his bereft wife (Rooney Mara), only to find that in his spectral state he has become unstuck in time, forced to watch passively as the life he knew and the woman he loves slowly slip away. Increasingly unmoored, the ghost embarks on a cosmic journey through memory and history, confronting life’s ineffable questions and the enormity of existence.”
A Ghost Story was one of the best reviewed films out of the fest, and knowing A24 is distributing easily makes this one of the summer’s big must-see movies.
