Via Screen Daily tonight, genre label Devilworks has acquired North American distribution for Hungarian director Balazs Juszt’s The Man Who Was Thursday, inspired by G.K. Chesterton’s same-named novel that was first published in 1908.
“This US-Hungary-Italy-Romania co-production follows Father Smith’s descent into the Roman Underworld and a battle between god and the devil, with the fate of humanity at stake.”
The film stars Ana Ularu (Emerald City, Inferno), François Arnaud (The Borgias, Rabid Dogs) and Jordi Mollà (Riddick, Criminal).
