Rising British actor Alex Lawther, who broke out in The Imitation Game and recently starred in a mortifying episode of Netflix’s “Black Mirror”, stars with Martin Freeman in Ghost Stories, which IFC Midnight has acquired for a U.S. VOD and limited theatrical release in 2018.
Jeremy Dyson (The League of Gentlemen) directs the supernatural thriller that’s based on the Olivier-nominated stage play of the same name.
Andy Nynam, who starred in the original theater production (which he co-wrote with Dyson), leads the cast, with Paul Whitehouse and Alex Lawther also starring.
Nyman stars as Professor Goodman, a psychologist, and skeptic, who has his rationality tested when he stumbles across a long-lost file containing details of three terrifying hauntings. He then embarks on a mission to find rational explanations for the ghostly happenings.
